French Baguettes
Happy New Years! Decided to make some homemade french baguettes, and think they turned out great for my first time!
Ingredients:
• 1 and 2/3 cups warm water
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Mix sugar, and yeast. Rest 5–10 min until foamy.
2. Add flour and salt. Rest for 20 minutes.
3. Mix ingredients, then perform stretch and folds 3x (rest 30 mins between)
4. Place in greased bowl, cover, rise 1–1½ hrs (until doubled).
5. divide into 3–4 pieces (optional: rest after forming into balls for 10 mins)
6. Shape into baguettes. Place on tray, cover, rise 30–45 min.
7. Score tops and powder flour over them.
8. Add tray of ice cubes on the bottom rack for steam. Bake at 450°F for 5 minutes. Then at 375°F for 30 min until golden & crisp.
Crispy outside and pillowy soft inside!🥖💛
