[rec.food.recipes] REQUEST: French Baguette

Arne.Gehlhaar@arbi.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de (11/12/90)

I am looking for recipes for original French Baguettee, meaning only
the bread (dough).  Does anybody know one, which makes particularily
crunchy, good tasting bread ??  Or can I just use any old yeast-dough ?

Any tips or hints are greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance,
Arne

P.S.: Incidently the best ever Baguettes, I had in San Sebastian, Northern
      Spain.  Even the Croissants (?sp) where many times better than in
      Paris, for example.  Maybe it should be renamed Spanish bread and
      not French bread.

[ I concur about the bread in Spain, and it was especially nice to have
a bakery on every other block, and government controlled bread prices.
There is a french bread recipe, BTW, in rec.food.recipes digest #3 -aem]
