Someone said that making baguette is very difficult, that you need a special tray, steam for baking and a sophisticated recipe, but it is not like that at all! For a long time, I waited and waited to do it, because I was waiting to buy a specialized tray, but I'm not me if I don't simplify everything It's my "what if..." and here I am, I made it simple without many special tools.
I call it the recipe for simple people like me.
Ingredients for 4 large baguettes.
700g / 24.69oz - type 1 flour
450ml / 15.87oz - of warm water
9g / 0.317oz of dry yeast
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Method of preparation
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the yeast and salt, mix. Add water and knead until a homogeneous dough is obtained, not too soft. Add the oil and knead until an elastic, homogeneous dough is obtained. Cover with a towel or a plastic film, and leave at room temperature for an hour, while folding and stretching the dough. After an hour (it may take more time, it depends on the ambient temperature!) divide the dough into 3 bug or 4 small pieces, form a baguette, just like in the video. After the baguettes are formed, place it on a baking tray, covered with a towel and left at room temperature for 40 minutes. After they have grown well, grease them with water, and add the seeds (if desired).
Baking method
Preheat the oven to 220 C / 428 F
Put the tray in the oven (in the middle), bake for 15-20 minutes, then move the tray down or up (depending on which side is whiter), in my case I changed it to the top of the oven, and bake another 10-15 minutes. In total, it bakes for 30-35 minutes. (the baking time depends on your oven, the guideline is that the baguettes are well browned)
