Skillet Baguette Loaf

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: all-purpose flour, instant yeast, kosher salt and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the baguette and let it skillet, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the basmati rice along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
