Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 1 1/4 cups (300ml) warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp instant yeast
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small baguette about 6 inches long.
- Place baguettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover lightly, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a baking dish of water on the lower rack to create steam.
- Score the tops of the baguettes with a sharp knife and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and crusty.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Steam in the oven is essential for a crispy crust.
- You can use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- These baguettes freeze well for later use.
