Alright, so I made the mini Baguettes yesterday... here's how it went.

I found out that 'hard flour' is actually just bread flour, so I went to Dillon's and bought some.


I also bought a new container to keep it in that looked like my sugar and multi-purpose flour containers.


This is the bread flour next to regular flour, it's more yellow and a thicker texture.


I didn't know what 'polenta' was, it was corn meal, I had a bag of it at home! Hooray!


This is the yeast sitting in with the sugar and warm water.


This is the 'flour well'.


Here is the yeast mixture poured into the 'flour well'.


This is the mixing of the yeast and the first half of the flour mixture.


Here it is all mixed up now.


This is what it looks like after adding in the rest of the flour mixture.
Then it sits for forever, and then you knead it. And it sits some more.


There they are all done! The only thing I would have done differently was make my slits a little deeper, they didn't come out very prominent.

Anywho. Next time I am going to make some muffins!
