This is a genius recipe-- I've been making a batch weekly since August. Yes! you can mix your dough one night after dinner, and throw it in the fridge. Yes! you can pull out half the dough at 3:15 when you walk in the door, shape into 2 baguettes and let rise while you deal with laundry, homework, and everything else. Yes! you'll have great crusty bread on the table by dinner, so even a simple soup and salad becomes a meal. Yes! you can fool your family -- mine did not believe that I had made these loaves, and were sure I had paid $3.99 at the artisan bakery. Sorry, artisan bakers -- I'll visit you for the other great things you make. But I've now got the baguettes covered!
