Ficelles, based in part on Reinhart's technique for Pain a l'Ancienne

Breads, Books & Biscotti

I was able to incorporate Reinhart's technique for his Pain a l'Ancienne into my own existing mixed-starter dough recipe. Essentially, a cold water fermentation cycle with a loosely handled, flour-cradled, benching and shaping method - these photos show the mini-baguettes' (ficelles) exterior and interior after baking.
