Baguette bread recipe

Recipe for 3 medium baguettes:

First phase:

  • 15g fresh yeast
  • 115 cl water
  • 115g flour
  • 1 table spoon of sugar

Mix all ingredients during 5 minutes and let the dough rest 30 minutes. At that point, you should be able to see bubbles and a kind of foam forming.

Second phase:

  • 115cl water
  • 255g flour
  • 1 tea spoon of salt

Mix all the ingredients with the dough from the first phase. Form 3 medium baguettes of 2,5 cm wide and 30 cm long. Prepare an oven tray, cover the bound with some baking paper and place your baguettes. Remember to cover your baguettes with a rag to avoid them getting dry and let the baguettes growing for one hour.

Warm up oven to 250°c.

Then throw some water from a glass inside the oven so when we introduce the baguettes in the oven, a special chemical reaction between the bread flour and the water will happen, resulting in making the crust more crunchy.

Pencil the baguette with water and make 2 deep diagonal slahes on each baguette.

Place the tray with the baguettes in the oven and cook for 12 minutes. Finally take the baguettes out and let the baguettes cool down for one hour before eating.
