    Dividing baguette dough
  • Make a cylindrical log and taper the ends to give it a baguette-like shape.
  • Alternatively one can roll it into a sheet, and then roll it again to form a baguette.
  • If you have a baguette tray, lift the shaped baguette and place it into the greased tray.
  • Otherwise, make a makeshift baguette tray. All I did was keep a bottle in between the two baguettes under parchment paper.

  • I kept the baguettes on the sides and let them proof for 1.5-2 hours.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 220 deg C / 428 Deg F and fan to 200 Deg C / 392 Deg F.
  • Fill a deep baking tray with hot water and place at the bottom of the oven.
  • The steam is needed for the crust.
  • Once the oven is preheated, slash the baguettes on the top with a sharp knife or a lame.
    Baguette Ready to be baked
  • If you made the makeshift tray, remove the bottle before baking.
  • Place the baguettes into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. If you have a thermometer, the baguettes are done when the internal temperature of the bread reads 90 Deg C / 194 Deg F. They should sound hollow when tapped at the bottom.
  • Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.

Notes

  • Standard US Size cups and spoons were used. 1 cup = 237 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven. Do look after 20 minutes if the bread is done.
