delicately fragrant, crispy baguette without yeast

Mix all ingredients in a dough mixer or with a dough hook until smooth. Fold by hand, let rest, and fold again. Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least half a day, but preferably 24-36 hours. Remove from the refrigerator in good time on the day of baking. About an hour before baking, roll the dough into two or three cylinders and let it rest on a baguette rack covered with baking cloth. Just before baking, score with a sharp knife to about one-quarter the thickness. Preheat oven to 250°C (fan/convection oven), while having water in a baking dish on the floor of the oven. Place the baguette in the hot oven, set the temperature to 230°C, and bake for about 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, let it cool, slice, and enjoy warm.
