The February Daring Baker Challenge

Submitted by bigboysoven on Thursday, 28 February 200866 Comments | [5,317 views]

It is time again to post our monthly Daring Baker Challenge. I got to express that this month’s challenge is rather tough as it is a 15 pages recipe. This month is hosted by Breadchick Mary from The Sour Dough and Sara from I Like to Cook and the recipe is from Julia Child’s French Bread. Click to view the recipe



After trying out this recipe, I realise that baking french bread can be very exciting and for now I had learned something new, useful and so desirable but by the end of the day I was totally exhausted! . . . . Love Sunny Yaw

    Nice job on your bread. The color is excellent and not burnt. I was way too chicken to make the batards or maybe decided that was just a great excuse.
