Build your meal around bread |
We know it might be borderline irresponsible to suggest cranking your oven to 500 degrees at the height of summer, but trust that we'd nudge you to do so only for baguettes. Specifically the tawny brown, shattery-crust, chewy-interior baguettes that Claire Saffitz shows us how to make in the newest episode of New York Times Cooking's "Try This at Home." Having taught us the art of homemade croissants, bagels and sourdough, Claire now takes us step-by-step through making our own baguettes, from selecting flour to reviving stale loaves. It's a worthy weekend project that yields deeply satisfying results: "A wonky baguette will still taste great," Claire says, "and I doubt anyone will care when they tear through the crackly crust." |
