King Arthur Bakealong Challenge: Baguettes

6/11/17 King Arthur is a quality brand of flour. Sometimes at Food Lion, you can catch it on sale. If you are going to go to the trouble to bake, give your product every chance of success by using high quality ingredients.

Recently I found on the King Arthur website a baker's challenge with a different recipe to try each each month. Baguettes are the recipe for June. This is my first experience with a preferment. The preferment was a "poolish." Basically a dryer preferment, this poolish contains water, yeast and flour. Here is the final result: a very crusty bread with a softer interior. My crumb was finer than I would like.
