Steps
Notes
- Baguette
- Makes 2 small baguettes
- An extremely easy straight dough Baguette recipe.
- Method
- 1. Place the flour, salt snd yeast and 160 ml of the water in a good mixer with a dough hook attached. (The remaining 20 ml will be used later)
- 2. Start mixing on a slow speed, gradually adding the rest of the water (20 ml). Increase the speed to medium and mix until you have a smooth dough.
- 3. Tip the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with cling wrap and leave the dough to proof for one to two hours. Or until more than double.
- 4. Tip the dough out onto a very lightly floured counter. Dust your hands in a little flour and divide the dough in two.
- 5. Knock back the dough and then roll the dough into a baguette shape.
- 6. Place on a large baking tray with baking paper, cover with a tea towel and leave to proof until it has doubled in size.
- 7. Preheat the oven to 220C, no fan. When the oven is hot. Put a roasting dish in the bottom of the oven and pour in some hot water to create some steam (this will help form the crust).
- 8. Just before baking, slash the top of each baguette three times to four times with a sharp knife.
- 9. Bake the baguettes for 20 minutes. Then drop the temperature to 200C and cook for 10 minutes. The baked baguettes should be golden-brown and have a slight sheen to them. Put them on a rack to cool completely.
