How to prepare a delicious baguette in 5 minutes.
If you like crispy baguettes that are easy to make in minutes, then this recipe is for you!
If you want to delight your children, spread butter on it and add a few pieces of milk chocolate!
It will also be a perfect accompaniment to all your cheese platters.
For baking the baguettes you will need a baguette baking pan like this (This is the one I use)
Ingredients for 4 big or 6 small baguettes:
– 39 oz of All-purpose flour
– 2 packets (¼ oz per packet) of Active Dry Yeast. I personally use the RapidRise (or quick rise yeast)
– 0,7 oz of salt
– 4 cups and 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water
Preparation:
1- Mix the lukewarm water and the Active dry yeast together
2- Mix the all-purpose flour and the salt in a bowl
3- Add the water and active yeast mixture to the flour in 3 times and mix by hand, with a mixer or bread machine until you get a fairly sticky dough
4- Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in your oven for approximately 2 hours. The dough should double in size
5- Set your oven to 450F and place a sheet pan with water at the bottom of your oven
5- Add some parchment paper on the top of your baguette baking pan and cut your dough into 4 or 6 parts and place one piece on each part of the baking pan.
6- Take scissors or a knife and make 4 cuts on your baguette and sprinkle them with flour
7- Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
8- Bake your baguette between 25 and 30 minutes depending on the cooking you prefer.
I cooked mine for 30 to 35 minutes.
Don’t forget to immediately remove your baguettes from the baking pan and to place them on a cutting board or kitchen towel.
Enjoy them while they are still warm, you can even freeze them and warm them at low temperature in the oven.
