French Food Friday- Home Made Baguettes



Bonjour mes belles,

I hopoe you have had a good week. This week I thought we would make baguettes.

Note the photo of mine looks  pale as I had some dental work done this week and as a result I cannot eat anything hard so I took it out of the oven before it turned crusty and brown.


Homemade french baguettes

Preparation time: 10 min, 

Time to rest: 1h30, 

Cooking time: 30min


INGREDIENTS

375g organic plain flour type 65

8 g salt

12g fresh baker’s yeast

300 ml warm water

PREPARATION

In a bowl, dilute the yeast with a bit of warm water and add the remaining water.

Add the flour, salt and mix roughly with a wooden spatula.

 Cover with a cloth and let dough rise in a warm place for about 1h30, or until it has at least doubled in size.

Once the dough risen, place the dough on a well floured surface .

Knead the dough and add flour.

Divide the dough into 2 parts and knead again.

Flatten dough and fold in 2. Turn the dough and flatten again. Fold in 2 and flatten . Roll the dough into a baguette and place in a lightly oiled and / or floured pan sticks . 

Using scissors or a razor blade, cut slits on the tops of the baguette 2 or 3 times.
