Frank Pellow Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Our neighbour, Penn, has taken up bread baking as one of his pandemic-coping activities. I have gladly taken on the taster/tester role. Penn's French Baguette utilizing old Cheddar cheese is particularly good : I made him this, Steve Good designed, basket as a small thank-you gift: heppnerguy, amazingkevin, GrampaJim and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I increased the length of the basket by about one third. Some of those Baguettes can get quite long. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 what a great basket. I have not seen this pattern an Steve Good's page. I guess he just has so many patterns there that it is easy to miss one, here and there. I love you project and reason for making it Dick heppnerguy Frank Pellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife Margaret and I also make bread but, mostly, we use a machine and have done so since the early 1990s. Margaret's father owned and ran a small bakery when she was a child.

teachnlearn Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've seen videos of the French biking with a long stick of bread over their shoulder. A french version would be quiet long. RJF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
