Instructions

Step 1

❶ In a bowl mix all ingredients until well combined, then let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 2

❷ Do 2-3 sets of stretch & folds, with 30 minutes rest in between. (always wet your hand, so the dough doesn’t stick!)

Step 3

❸ Cover the bowl with a lid, then place in the fridge and ferment for 12-24 hours.

Step 4

❹ Preheat a baking tray (or pizza stone/steel) to 250°C.

Step 5

❺ Using a dough scraper release the dough from the bowl and place it on a well floured surface. Try to deflate it as little as possible.

Step 6

❻ To shape the baguettes fold one side to the middle, then fold the other side onto the middle and fold again to seal the edges and create more tension. Thinly press and roll out the edges. ❼ Place the baguettes on a piece of baking paper, cover and let them proof for 20-30 minutes.

Step 7

❽ Score using a razor blade or sharp knife. Then transfer them to the preheated baking tray and bake at 250°C (preferably with steam in the first 8-10 minutes) for 15-20 minutes until golden-brown. (also works without steam… :)) ❾ Let them cool for at least 30 minutes (if you can 😉).
