French Food Friday- Home Made Baguettes
Bonjour mes belles,
I hopoe you have had a good week. This week I thought we would make baguettes.
Note the photo of mine looks pale as I had some dental work done this week and as a result I cannot eat anything hard so I took it out of the oven before it turned crusty and brown.
