Ingredients to make 8 baguettes of 220 grams each
- 1 kilogram of flour (type 55 preferably)
- 15 grams of baker's yeast (i dont know the real name in english but it comes in small cubes and it's soft)
- 22 grammes of salt
- 70 centiliters of water
- Plastic bin or bowl
- Rimmed cookie sheet or cast iron frying pan
- Four kitchen towels
- Parchment paper or couche
- Razor blade
Also all the utensils used are not professionals ones, meaning you can find find the "wavy"pans at a regular store. Sometimes the dough can stick to the pan so you can put the dough on parchment paper cut at the same shape and size of the baguette.
Step 1:
Stirr well the salt, water and yeast together
Step 2:
Knead the dough for about 20 mins til it gets soft on the surface. Let it rest for 2 hours and until the dough gets twice its size.
Step 3:
After 2 hours start shaping the baguettes. Then let them rest again for an hour, the baguettes need to rise a little.
Step 4: the baking
Put the baguette on a pan using greaseproof paper. Sprinkle some flour on the baguette and use a razor blade to notch them. Let them cook in already warm up oven 400 FÂș with a pan filled with water underneath the pan (to produce some vapor to make a crusty bread) until they get a golden color.
Enjoy!
