Tools I Used:

Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/3N8ZPUi (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)

Alternative pan:
* https://amzn.to/49UyaOo – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* https://amzn.to/4gnx6Fb – same as the previous pan.

* https://amzn.to/4qCUXVM – my favorite bread lame

These baguettes come out with a crispy, crackly crust and a soft, open crumb inside. They’re easy to slice, great for sandwiches, and even better just torn apart fresh out of the oven. No bread machine, no special equipment – just a baking tray and a sharp blade.
