Molly – Thanks for sharing your sophisticated technique. I’m not sure how Parisian bakers achieve that same look, but I’d love to find out. If I do, I’ll let you know!

It has been entirely too long since I was in Paris – so it’s nice to hear that perhaps I’m channeling a bit of Parisian trend, that I’m still connected in some way!

Anyone who wants the same effect – simply shape the loaves and let them rise too near the oven on insufficiently floured kitchen towels and the twist them out of the towel-flour-dough creation. I wonder how the Parisian bakeries do it….

I love the shape of your baguettes! I think they’re some of the most beautiful baguettes I’ve ever seen.

I think your baguettes look inordinately appetizing, and that twisted, hand-shaped look is currently gaining momentum at Paris bakeries. So, you know, you’re just ahead of your time!

“I’m a grown-ass woman who eats a giant piece of…tart for breakfast if I fee like it.” – YES! I have to remind myself of that all of the time. I can eat whatever I want whenever I want (!?!) – it is such a basic right, yet we all forget it, get stuck in our little routines, and forget to have fun with food.

Good for you! Now I want some chocolate too…

Bread is ALWAYS good no matter what it looks like. What a great idea. I always love to find more ways to add more chocolate and bread to my diet. Yum.

The dough did not defeat you…that’s all that matters.

Oh this cracked me up:) “A grown-ass woman” – love that line!
I’ve tried making my own baguettes at home, too. Mine were, like yours, “tasty enough.” And there is NOTHING better than fresh-baked bread, even when it is “so so.” Love the idea of dipping buttered bread in hot chocolate.
