I always thought I needed a legit bread oven to do baguettes. It turns out, with my trusty cast iron skillet sitting in the bottom of my oven with water steaming up, I have a pretty good proxy.

I found the baguette recipe on King Arthur Baking perfect for my needs and they turned out rather well. They even had that crack when you open one (see my husband, the hand model in picture 3).
