As a new member of the daring bakers, I present to you, my first challenge~~ The French batards
I must admit that I got a bit frustrated when I saw the recipe for this particular bread, because it was like a thousand pages long and also because that I've never made bread before. So I was really pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
The dough ready to go in to the oven
The expected holes which also represents the rightness of the properly made batard.
I think mine is not there yet, maybe it's because I didn't abuse the dough long enough..but my arm was so tired and sore

Hi Hi~
Welcome to DB! I would have never done this if I weren't a DB! I am still shock that I pushed this challege thru~
Great job on your first challenge! Such a beautiful bread and I'm so envious of your bread's nooks and crannies!
I think you abused the dough exactly right there! It looks like what French bread is suppose to look like.
Thanks so much for baking with Sara and I
