Equipment
- oven
Ingredients
- 4 cups high gluten bread flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1-1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, add the flour and yeast. Stir for 1 minute until yeast is incorporated.
- Slowly add water while kneading at slow speed.
- After 2 minutes, add salt. Knead for an additional 8 minutes.
- Take the dough out of the bowl and divide it in 3 equal portions.
- Roll each piece of dough with both hands to form a stick.
- Dust each stick with a little flour.
- Grease baguette pan by spraying a little oil. Place uncooked baguettes in the pan.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
- Using a sharp razor blade or a paring knife, slash the top of each baguette diagonally in four spots. Spray water on the baguettes.
- Place water in a skillet or small baking dish on the bottom rack. This produces steam that lets the baguettes rise fully before a crust forms.
- Preheat oven to 430 F.
- Bake the baguettes until dark brown and crisp, about 30 to 35 minutes.
