Wild Rice and Onion Baguettes

Is today seriously the 16th already? Apprently it is. That means that it's time to reveal the Bread Baking Babes bread and kitchen of the month! Babe Karen of Bake My Day has chosen a bread that is fairly hands-off. It can be mixed and kneaded and then stored in the fridge overnight (or over a couple of nights), and then be formed, let to rise, and baked when you're ready: Wild Rice and Onion Bread.

Initially I planned to turn the dough into rolls and add them to my Easter bread basket. But that meal came and went in the blink of an eye. And I forgot. So, on to Plan B (which had not yet been thought out).

I toyed with making a boule or a sandwich loaf until I remembered my lonely baguette pan. I think it's been in the same spot for so long that I don't really see it anymore. Do you know what I mean? My eyes just sort of graze over it like it's part of the woodwork. Somehow I managed to actually see it, and then I knew my decision was clear. I needed baguettes.
