Ingredients

  • 475g of flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 365ml of water at 90

Method

  1. Combine flour and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add yeast, mix well.
  3. Add water. Mix. It should be STICKY
  4. 8 to 10 hrs at room temperature.
  5. GENTLY move flour to a board (that is also well floured). Try not to slam it. Keep the air bubbles inside.
  6. CUT into 3 equal sizes. Freeze the other two unless you're making more than 1 baguette.
  7. Stretch it out and shape it. They expand quite a bit in the oven so put them on the silver baguette tray.
