Le Pain Francais Test 2 - Julia Child (French Bread)

This is Thursday night's result.  I learned to be calmer and patient with this formula because it is so simple.  I love the hand mixing technique.  No Mixer.  Nothing more than a few things to wash.  The mixing and kneading techniques are the same as Test 1's.  I recall doing the similar 'Slapping' down the wet dough in making Japanese style sweet bun.  The technique works quite well to bring the wet sticky dough into smooth workable dough in a short time better than my mixer could.  (Double click on image to view details).
