Playing with my new Christmas gifts

I had a great Christmas, lots of great food and visits with family.  Lots of neat gifts.  One of my gifts from my daughter Nikole and her fiance Brad was a French baguette pan.  It is kind of a funny looking pan made of curved metal with tiny, closely spaced holes.  It is used to make two loaves of French bread.  Today, I had a chance to make my first loaves and I was very happy with how they turned out.  I wrote about it including the recipe here.

Here is a picture of the pan:




And a couple pictures of the bread.

Several of my gifts were kitchen or food related.  I love kitchen gadgets and tools.

    Ok, Lorri, you can tell that I am not a cook, because I have never seen a pan like that! The bread looks amazing though. I have always wanted to make my own bread, but it looks like something that might be a bit beyond me and my meager cooking skills!! Happy New Year!

      Hi Kim. I am rather new to bread baking, just the last couple of years and then I don't do it very often. Do you have a stand mixer with a bread hook? I let the mixer do the kneading and it makes it a lot easier. There is a link above to my post with the recipe and a few pictures. I bet you could do it. Happy New Year.
