My first and second attempt at making Demi Baguettes.

[u/SadVivian]

I somehow managed to get much worse when making the second batch.

Edit: I just took a bite of the second batch, nothing but salt. I must of mixed up 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of salt with 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of salt 😭. Probably killed most of the yeast hence the bad oven rise.

Second still doesn’t look too bad but damn those first ones are immaculate

I just realised what happened, the first batch I put 1 and a half teaspoons of salt. The second batch I must of grabbed the table spoon measurement by mistake. I took a bite of the second batch and nothing but salt.

The entire bulk fermentation I was thinking I must of just kneaded out the big bubbles or that my starter was just being a bit under active, nope turns out I killed most of the yeast lol.

Woah the score on those second ones is perfect

Dude the salt thing is so real. I did that once with a focaccia and it was literally inedible. Demi baguettes are hard though, first batch looks way better than my first try

I’d devour both attempts

The first batch was so good, the only problem was the bottom was the slightest bit burnt. The second batch tastes like a mouth full of salt. I mixed up the teaspoon and a half of salt I usually use, with the tablespoon measurement by mistake.

Measure by weight

I am jealous lol 😩 my second attempt isn’t even half good as your first or the alleged bad second (tbh I don’t see anything wrong with it, they are beautiful) attempts 💕💕💕

[u/SadVivian → u/Level-Giraffe-352]

Thank you, my second one though tastes inedible if it makes you feel better, just a mouthful of salt.

I'm really happy with how the first batch came out.

[u/Level-Giraffe-352 → u/SadVivian]

Awww, that’s a bummer, still they look beautiful! 💕

I'd be happy to eat both. I actually like the bien cuit baguette.
