Baking with Julia demonstrates recipes for the extraordinary variety of breads now popular across the country and the greatest examples of America's favorite course - dessert. Danielle Forestier's segment featured baking a traditional French baguette, using a hand mixing and kneading process. As only flour, water, salt and yeast are used, the process of producing a beautiful and flavorful baguette is the foundation for general breadbaking. No shortcuts or aids were used to enhance the fermentation process so the results are totally dependant on the quality of the ingredients and the knowledge and skill of the baker. The segment on hand shaping is particularly useful.
