I made these for the pending new year's party. they were SO simple!
For 4 smaller or 2 large baguette:
1/4 tsp dry active yeast (I used 1 tsp)
1 1/2 cups water (325 grams)
1 3/4 tsp salt
18 oz by weight bread flour (500 grams), about 4 cups
- Mix dough and let rise 12-14 hours or until doubled
- Punch down and shape loaves, let rise covered with floured plastic 1 to 1 1/2 hr or until almost doubled
- Bake at 550 F. about 15 minutes or until well-browned
- Spray with water before baking, at 5 minutes, and at 10 minutes during cooking time
