Susan of WildYeast asked for some baguettes, so here, a version of Bouley bakery's mini baguette paysanne. It's a bakery where I worked one summer. This version of their baguette is completely 100% levain and are made to an unorthodox size to fit my home oven, as I don't think the deck ovens at SFBI would fit through any doorway in my building or make the 5 flights up to my apartment!

Hi Jeremy,
I cannot figure out how to send you my e-mail without posting it here, which does make me a tad nervous. Here’s hoping… kutlermd@earthlink.net. I appreciate your willingness to share your recipe: I will be respectful with the information and be happy to share some of my own. I don’t have a blog. I will write you further privately. Best wishes, Charles
These baguettes look fantastic, Jeremy!
