Baguette-grigne 

I had another practice on slashing again today. Now that I have steam management in place, I need to work on the slashing. However, I was sloppy in my shaping and my wife commented that the previous batch looked better. 

The consolation is that the ears were definitely more pronounced this time round and that convinced me that the slashing method I tried out today was right. I will have to work on the shaping for future bakes.
