 the result: https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110346250694057921 Success! Now the baguette is cooling down, while I threw the other half of the recipe to cook outside. Once the first baguette is cool we'll give it a taste and let you all know how it was, texture wise. 19 comments
 So I made a full recipe and cooked the bread in two batches (didnt want it to expand too much and get stuck in the tube). Took 1 hour per baguette. We had a taste, and the texture is great! We're so pleased~! I don't usually bake in the summer because it takes too much propane, so this is very exciting. There you have it, solar-cooked bread. Solar cooking notes, for those interested: @masakepic Yea im shocked at how well it worked, expected something along the lines of steamed bread. I didnt expect it to have a bit of crunch to it.  @rek it looks great! do you have to take care to keep it from hitting the sides/top of the tube or is that ok? this reminds me of a Pyrex “bread tube” that I have, which is just a tube of glass (with a wire frame to keep it from rolling around) which you butter up and bake a perfectly tubular loaf in (in a standard oven). it’s weird and probably from the 70s.  @rek OK but how is THE CRUST??? Does it make a nice satisfying sound when breaking the bread? 🔥 @thomasorus crust is pretty good, exceeds my expectations. Not saying you'd find this in a bakery, but there is a crunch to it, esp at the ends cause the tube temp is higher at one end than the other (i had to flip the bread around once during cooking).  |
