It looks good from the top picture, but.....

It looks really dense on the inside... My husband called this my first baking failure (although no one has tried it, yet)... I want to say it's a learning experience, but I'm not sure what I'm learning. My first thought is the bowl I used for the final rise was too big and me reshaping it this morning was unnecessary (and destroyed any structure it might have had).
Any other ideas?

You did a beautiful job scoring! Very pretty!

I ordered a batard basket because I thought that shape might be a more sandwich friendly shape. It got delivered on Sunday and I had dough in that thing before the Amazon van made it out of the driveway. Almost...I didn’t think about baking it in something oblong or oval, I used the same covered cast iron skillet I’ve been using for the boules.

I did find an oval roaster I’ll try next time!

I tried a new recipe for dinner last night, it was delicious!

We'll definitely do this one again.

This recipe is a definite winner. Sue's not a fan of stroganoff, but loved this recipe.

Now that you've brought it up, I'm ready to make it again.

I am looking into getting a ceramic baking pan too!

saw the same recipe this weekend. We are planning to use these.

Wife makes a cheese out of coconut milk that will make a cream sauce for it. Definitely going to try it.

Cool! My local grocery doesn't carry them, but another of the same chain does, and I'll be going right by it tomorrow! Thanks.
