Ladies, a few weeks ago, someone posted a bread machine recipe. I'm looking for it and can not find it. I believe it made the dough in the machine and then it was transfered to the oven to bake. The person who submitted it said her family thought she "perfected it." She also included a picture of two baguettes. Any idea of who I'm speak of and where the recipe is?

Thank you in advance.
