Your baguettes are always a success. Maybe you could help a forum member with hers?

Baguette help please

It is heavy and dense and not a crispy crust. The dough was beautiful and bouncy but my resulting loaves are disappointing. There were 3 rises: 2 hrs, 1 1/2 hrs and final rise of 1 hr. A cup of hot water into a pan on oven floor 5 min before putting loaves in. I preheated the oven for 30 min to 450. [image]
