Bread-Bakers v103.n048.8

Ed:

Since you told me, in private correspondence about your KA class I've been 
shaping all my 60% or so hydration baguettes without flour on the counter 
and the resulting appearance is a quantum leap in quality.

To illustrate the kind of impressive appearance you can obtain with this 
small adjustment to to your technique I have crude pix, in a zip file, 650 
kb in size I can send to anyone interested. Email me if you want a copy.
