Okay, yesterday's 10 loaves of French bread brought my count up to 72, which gives me a little pad. Although, I imagine there'll be some last minute orders before Monday and Tuesday delivery days.
So, today I baked for............us.
I used my French bread recipe but instead of making two baguettes, I made one baguette and shaped the other portion of dough into a big round dome-shaped loaf. Slashed it as usual and washed it in egg white just like the baguette. Turned out lovely and, as Glenn mentioned, it will be great to slice for sandwiches.
It feels a little weird not doing my assembly line dough prep, etc. and the kitchen looks nearly naked without all the tools of the trade out on the counters.
