Baguette

Time to prepare : 20min

Break time : 1h30/2h

Time of baking : 35min

Ingredients :

  • 500g flour for bread

  • 300ml warm water

  • 10g salt

  • 7g baking powder for bread

  • Some seeds or nuts for special bread (option)

 

Preparation :

  1. ​Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Make a whole in the middle and pour 150ml of warm water. Mix quickly with a spatula and then add the remain of water. If the dough is to sticky add softly some flour until the dough has got the good consistency. 

  2. Make a ball and pour some flour on top. Leave it at least for 1h30min topped with a wet towel in a warm room.

  3. Preheat your oven - Thermostat 240.

  4. Cut the dough in 4 equal parts, give them quickly a ball shape and left them for 20min again. 

  5. Make the baguettes shapes quickly to not squeeze the dough. Left them for a while and brush them with some salted water.

  6. Put your baguettes in the oven and pour quickly 2 glasses of cold water on the pan on the back of your oven and close quickly the door of the oven. Put down the thermostat à 220. 

 

    7. Bake for 35min. This is based on my oven which is with gas and heat on the back only. I put the bread in the middle.

    To know if your bread is already bake, knock on it, the sound must be ' ring hollow'.
