Did anyone else have the same experience while reading the September/October issue of Cook's Illustrated for the Authentic baguette? The old baguette recipe appears to have disappeared from their website. It had no special ingredients and you can see from the above link it was brown and had an audible crunch to the exterior.
How about you read an internet post that mentions a couche, lame, and diastatic malt powder in the same sentence, and you immediately recognize exactly what it's being used for.
