Ingredients
- 475g of flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp yeast
- 365ml of water at 90
Method
- Combine flour and salt. Mix well.
- Add yeast, mix well.
- Add water. Mix. It should be STICKY
- 8 to 10 hrs at room temperature.
- GENTLY move flour to a board (that is also well floured). Try not to slam it. Keep the air bubbles inside.
- CUT into 3 equal sizes. Freeze the other two unless you're making more than 1 baguette.
- Stretch it out and shape it. They expand quite a bit in the oven so put them on the silver baguette tray.
- Heat oven to 250c (480f)
- Bake for 25 mins on the last but one tack. ON THE RACK BELOW put a pan with 4 to 5 ice cubes.
