Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Warm Water (about 105°F)
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 490 g All-Purpose Flour (preferably Type T55 if available)
  • 1 packet Dry Baker’s Yeast (like Briochin)

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Stand Mixer (optional)
  • Baking Sheet or Baguette Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Sharp Knife or Lame for Scoring

Method
 

  1. Pour warm water into a large bowl, then add sugar and yeast; let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in salt and gradually incorporate flour until combined.
  3. Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes or use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
  4. Once the dough has risen and doubled in size, turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Divide the dough into 2 or 3 equal portions and shape each into a rectangle, folding the edges toward the center and rolling gently under your palms.
  6. Place shaped baguettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover loosely with a damp towel; let them rise for about an hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 480°F (250°C) and place a small oven-safe dish filled with water on the bottom rack.
  8. Score the tops of the baguettes with a sharp knife or razor blade.
  9. Brush the loaves lightly with milk or olive oil and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
