French Bread, Daring Baker Style

I really procrastinated this challenge. I waited till the last minute and had to fit it in. Try "fitting in" a nine hour recipe. I got up early and made my dough. It came together really easy. Flour, yeast, salt, and water were the only components to this recipe. There was alot of down time and I worked it between errands. I know I didn't do exactly as instructed, but it came together anyway.

The best part of this challenge came at dinner time. My hubby asked where I got the bread. When I asked "what?" because I thought he new I had made bread, he asked again, "where did you buy the bread?". I told him I made it and he was surprised. He said it looked so perfect, he thought I bought it. What a complement!
Mary, aka Breadchick, of The Sour Dough and Sara of I like to cook were the wonderful hostesses of this month's challenge. Thank you ladies. I will make this again. To get the whole recipe, visit one of them! Now go take a look at the other 500 Daring Bakers and see how they all fared. You might want to take a bottle of wine and a hunk of Brie. Bon Appetit!
