You need this for your home-baked baguette
Our quantities are enough for a baguette. If you would like to bake several loaves of bread at the same time, simply extrapolate the corresponding quantity.
- Weigh 250g wheat flour type 550.
- You will also need 125ml of lukewarm water. Alternatively, you can also use lukewarm milk.
- You also need 15g of fresh yeast and half a teaspoon of salt.
Make your own baguette – it’s that easy
Once you have weighed and measured all the ingredients, you can quickly prepare the dough.
- First, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk.
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and add the yeast milk.
- Using the dough hook on your mixer, mix the ingredients together to form a smooth dough. The dough shouldn’t be too wet, so it shouldn’t stick to the bowl. If necessary, add a little more flour.
- Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a baguette and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: Fold the parchment paper to create a hollow. Then the bread stays in its typical shape while baking.
- Now the dough should rest for another 10 minutes before you cut it diagonally a few times with a sharp knife.
- Bake the baguette in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Tip: Put a fireproof bowl with a little water in the oven to give the baguette a nice crust and keep it soft on the inside.
