Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1.75 ounces warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast*
16 ounces bread flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
10 ounces cool water ((you may not need all of the water))
additional flour, (for dusting)

Steps:

  • Measure the warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside and allow the yeast to dissolve and become foamy.
  • Measure the bread flour into a large bowl and stir in the salt.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and stir in the dissolved yeast.
  • Add the cool water, a little at a time, while stirring, just until a stiff, shaggy dough (watch the video below to see what this should look like) has formed (you may not need to use all of the water).
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface, and gently press it into a rectangle and fold into thirds. Turn 90 degrees and repeat.
  • Place the dough in a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 to 2 hours).
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, and shape each one into a long loaf (about 15-inches long and 1 1/2-inches in diameter), with pointed ends.
  • Place the loaves on a floured towel, cover with oiled plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk (about 30 to 45 minutes).
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, and place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
  • Uncover the baguettes and transfer to lightly greased baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle with flour, and make 4 elongated slashes down each one with a lame, razor, or sharp knife.
  • Bake the breads until crusty and brown (in my oven this takes around 35 to 40 minutes). The baguettes should give a hollow sound when tapped.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups 12 oz. spring water or distilled water, heated to 115 F.
1 teaspoon 1/8 oz. active dry yeast (we use instant yeast but follow the same procedure)
3 1/4 cups 14-2/3oz. all-purpose flour (You may need to add extra. )
1 1/2 teaspoon 3/8 oz. kosher salt
Vegetable spray for greasing bowl
1/2 cup ice cubes
****Check the notes

Steps:

  • Whisk together water and yeast in the bowl of a stand up mixer; let sit until yeast is foamy, about 10 minutes. Add flour, salt, and stir with a fork until dough forms and all flour is absorbed; let dough sit to allow flour to hydrate, about 20 minutes. Attach the dough hook to your mixer begin to mix the dough. Continue to knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with the vegetable spray and transfer the dough ball to it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (we use a shower cap -- the kind you get in the hotels, they work perfectly) and place bowl in a cold oven.
  • Let dough rest until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Transer dough to a lightly floured work surface, and shape into an 8" x 6" rectangle. Fold the 8" sides toward the middle, then fold the shorter sides toward the center, like a T-shirt. Return the dough, seam side down, to the greased bowl. Cover with plastic again, and return to oven. Let sit until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the bowl with dough from oven, and place a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan on the bottom rack of your oven; position another rack above the skillet/pan, and place a baking stone or upside down rimless sheet pan on it.
  • Heat oven to 475 F. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface, and cut into three equal pieces; shape each piece into a 14-inch-rope. Flour a sheet of parchment paper on a rimless baking sheet; place ropes, evenly spaced, on paper. Lift paper between ropes to form pleats; place two tightly rolled kitchen towels under long edges of paper, creating supports for the loaves. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let sit until they double in size, about 50 minutes.
  • Uncover; remove towels, and flatten paper to space out loaves. Using a sharp razor, knife, bread lame, or scissors, slash the top of each baguette at a 30-degree angle in four spots; each slash should be about 4 inches long. Pull out the oven rack with the stone or baking sheet on it and, using the corner of the parchment paper as a guide, slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, onto the baking stone or pan.
  • Place ice cubes in the skillet or pan (this produces steam that lets the loaves rise fully before a crust forms.)
  • Bake the baguettes until darkly browned and crisp, 20 to 30 minutes; cool before serving.
