Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 55 minutes

Weigh the flour and put it into a large baking bowl. Crumble the yeast into a mug and dissolve it with the sugar and a little water. Make a well in the flour, add the yeast and mix it with a little flour, cover and let it rise for 15 minutes. Then knead the dough with the remaining ingredients using the dough hook of the stand mixer for 7 minutes. Then knead it by hand for another 5 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead briefly again. Form 3 baguettes. Either place the baguettes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or use a baguette pan. Let it rise for another 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius with a heatproof bowl of water in the bottom, score the baguettes, spray them with lukewarm water and place them in the oven. After 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 220 degrees Celsius and bake the breads for about 15 minutes. Spray the baguettes again 5 minutes before the end of baking.
