It's really easy when you use an electric fillet knife. Our regular electric knife died early after only 28 years of service, so I scrubbed up the electric fillet knife that I clean fish with, and found that the blade is better than the old kitchen model. I'll post a picture of the blade when i get some time.
Actually, it's an excellent question. I stumbled upon the Epi loaf on this website, and have been having fun making them as a presentation loaf for dinners we get invited to. Once you look at their tutorial, you'll see it's fun and easy. I take my French Bread recipe and split the dough into 4 portions to make 4 baguettes. You can use any bread dough to make these, but the French formula and Italian formulas are traditional. Also, put on your egg wash or saltwater wash and toppings like poppyseeds, sesame seeds of sea salt BEFORE making the cuts. It makes for a very attractive loaf.
Exactly! And that's what happened when I brought them to my brother's house. As soon as they were on the counter, pieces were being torn off and I heard some ask "Where's the butter?" The rest is history, because all 4 loaves were eaten by teh time we left. After dinner, folks kept tearing off a piece at a time and eating it like snack food.
