@jeremycherfas It really works. I just made a couple of baguette-style loaves without my usual improvised baguette pan, and the loaves stayed nice and tall while they rose.
@jeremycherfas I did! Didn't follow his method exactly, but apparently close enough. His voice reminded me of Danny the Drug Dealer in Withnail & I, which added a little humor for me. Probably a regional accent familiar to anyone in the UK.
