In Guinea: Time to Make the Baguettes

Posted by Adam Kuban, April 11, 2008 at 9:45 AM

20080409-guinea.jpgKaty Murtaugh, a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Guinea, describes the process of mixing, kneading, and baking 90 baguettes in just seven hours—all without tools or measuring cups. The baker she follows works on an enormous scale, given that he's doing everything manually: He starts with about 55 pounds of flour before adding a "deluge of water" and continuing.
