title: Why didn't anyone tell me how easy it is to make baguettes?

Seriously. I've never done much baking and always had the impression that
bread-making is an arcane art, and a time consuming one to learn.
</p>
<p>
Well, yesterday night, while doing some late-night internet browsing, I happened
upon <a href='https://stephango.com/baguette'>this post</a> by a random tech bro
(Steph Ango, CEO of Obsidian). The title intrigued me, the photo convinced me,
and literally 5 minutes later I was mixing the four ingredients in my kitchen.
</p>
<p>
In the morning, I followed the rest of the instructions, and now I am a proud
owner of two crunchy baguettes. Well, one-and-a-half now, and soon to be zero.
</p>
<p>
They weren't perfect, mind you. They burnt a bit on the bottom, so I'll have to
play around with the baking parameters. But despite that they're tasty, crunchy
on the outside, soft and full of air pockets on the inside. I'm confident that
with a few tweaks I'll be able to make ones as good as any store-bought baguette
of this type.
