Baguette 🥖


  • Author: Dulcia

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups all-purpose flour (may need more depending on the brand)
3 cups lukewarm water
2 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt


Instructions

1️⃣ The night before, combine all the ingredients together. First, mix the dry ingredients together and then add water. Mix until the dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 12-20 hours on the countertop. 🌙

2️⃣ The following day, the dough should be wet, sticky, and bubbly. Generously flour your hands and the baking sheet. 🌞

3️⃣ Take the dough (if it sticks, apply more flour to your hands) and form a baguette shape. You will easily get at least 2-3 baguettes. For tips on shaping the dough, watch this tutorial. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and sprinkle a generous amount of flour on them. Score the top with a sharp knife and cover with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours. ⏳

4️⃣ Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). You will need to have 2 shelves in the oven. Fill a deep baking pan with 2 cups of hot boiled water, and place it on the lower rack inside your oven. This will make the bread crispy on the outside. Place the bread on the middle rack. Remove water from the oven after 10 minutes. Keep baking the bread for another 30 minutes or until golden crispy brown. 🔥

Enjoy your homemade baguettes! 🥖✨
