Okay, the first steps were awesome but the end-result killed it. Alas! An oven on 500 degrees and 15 minute cooking time is of course going to burn those beautiful baguettes.
There isn't a french person in the world that buy or eat such sad and shapeless bags of shit! Buy a bread machine, that way you can have shitty bread without having to listen to this pretentious twat go on like he's the one that invented the baguette.
@bbob765 I was felling the same way but I didn't want to comment and sound like a pretentious twat myself...but you have given me liberty! Long live the baguette!
This series was very helpful to me, a novice baker. The only criticism I have is that I would have liked a bit closer camera shot of the dough while it was still in the large bowl.
Something is wrong with people expecting the same results from a generic commercial oven, as that Anthony video got with a serious bread making brick oven.
To those new to making bread, you can make your first attempts easier by letting a bread machine do the dough mixing and first proof; it'll be mediocre, but it'll be successfully mediocre. Shaping and second proof are more tolerant of poor handling and technique. You'll get decent bread; and then improve yourself with time.
I'm new to baking bread, and I hate to be negative but would like to give some feedback. I actually tried following these exact instructions, and the bread was inedible. These instructions are overly complicated, pretentious, and inaccurate. The ingredients were unclear, and you don't need a dough scraper, a bread thermometer, etc. These vids look really nice, but only results in a waste of ingredients.
Hmmm... the video did not show the crumb. Almost without exceptions, most bakers would take every opportunity to showcase their crumb--if the crumb is good. The key word is IF.

I am making French Bread as we speak. Oven is pre-heating on 450 and will bake for about 20-25 mns.

something is wrong with the oven. there's burnt marks on the 3rd baguette but it's still white all around. All the other steps seemed fine though.

If he'd have applied a wash, they'd have a more attractive color. Eggwash in particular is an easy way to create a beautiful crust.

They don't look right, but more importantly how is the CRUMB aka the holes?

Nice try, but I don't like the end result. Anthony Bourdain has a clip on a Paris bakery on YouTube, search for it. Now that is a real baguette.

Those were the worst baguettes I've ever seen. They were just fat ugly loaves.
