Baguette – French Style

Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Mix the flour and salt. Then knead everything well and form a ball. Flour and cover! Let rise for 1 hour until the dough has doubled.

Then knead the dough well with a little flour and press flat into a rectangle and knead the corners in the middle a few times. Shape into a ball again, flour the bowl and let rise for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes do the same from the beginning and a total of 3 times!

Now divide the dough into 3 parts and roll the baguette. Brush with a little water, flour and cut into it. I put the dough pieces in a special baguette baking tray with holes! But also works without it! 🙂 Now let rise again for 15 minutes and at the same time preheat the oven to 220 ° degrees circulating air!

Then bake the baguette in the oven, middle rack for 20 minutes! If you like, put a bowl of water under the sheet! 🙂 Then cool down and try lukewarm with butter & salt! 😀 Hhhhhhmmm ...
