HOW TO MAKE FRENCH BAGUETTES
I always thought you can't make real French baguettes at home, but once I tried it I realized I was wrong. Again. You're going to be fairly shocked when you realize just how simple this is. The only way to make bread this any more French is to put some butter on it!

Steps:
- Place yeast into the bottom of a large mixing bowl and stir with water; mix in salt. Beat flour into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until dough is thick and sticky and pulls flour from the side of the bowl, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a turned-off oven until doubled in size, 12 to 14 hours. Dough will be bubbly and very sticky.
- Place a silicone baking mat onto a baking sheet and dust generously with cornmeal.
- Use a floured spatula to scrape dough out onto a well-floured work surface and dust dough with flour. With well-floured hands, pat dough into a rectangle and cut into 4 equal-size pieces.
- Dust a piece of dough with flour and use your floured fingers to gently roll and stretch it out into a log about 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches around. Gently transfer to prepared baking sheet. If desired, wipe off excess cornmeal with a damp paper towel. Repeat with another piece of dough. (Reserve remaining dough to bake later or prepare 2 baking sheets to bake all 4 at once). Dust loaves lightly with flour. Dust a large piece of plastic wrap with flour and drape plastic lightly over the baking sheet with floured side down.
- Let loaves rise, covered, until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hour.
- Move oven racks to the bottom and middle positions. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) or as high as your oven will go. Place an oven-safe baking dish full of water into bottom rack of the oven.
- Use a sharp kitchen shears to cut 4 or 5 angled slashes into the top of each loaf. Poke down the little sharp tips of dough left by the scissors. Spray loaves with water, using a spray bottle.
- Bake in the preheated oven until baguettes are browned, about 15 minutes, spraying loaves with water after 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Turn the pan around on the second spraying.
- Transfer baguettes to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature before slicing with a serrated knife.

CHEWY FRENCH BAGUETTE
I don't bake with bread flour or rapid yeast, and I don't have a bread machine. This is a pretty good loaf using things I already have. One might call it 'French on a budget' bread. This recipe can make 1 big loaf or 6 sandwich rolls. I find they're best served warm with homemade butter.

Steps:
- Dissolve sugar into the hot water in a 2-cup measure; add yeast and stir gently. Let dissolve until top is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir gently, starting from the middle, until mixture is sticky. Knead by hand, adding more flour if needed, until dough is elastic and no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.
- Oil a large, clean bowl and place dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Fill a roasting pan with water and set on the lower rack of the oven. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape dough into 1 large loaf or 6 sandwich loaves, tapering the ends. Place loaves on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 3 or 4 diagonal slashes, about 1/4 to 1/2-inch, across the tops. Cover with a dry towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Uncover and bake in the center of the preheated oven until top is light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the loaves.

KITTENCAL'S SOFT WHITE BAGUETTE-STYLE BREAD
If you are looking for a wonderful tender no-fail bread that you do not have to bother shaping into bread pans, then this is one that is fantastic! It is so simple to make on a heavy-duty stand mixer, although I have never tried this on a bread machine, I think you might just have good results that way also.

Steps:
- Prepare one large cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or sprinkled with yellow cornmeal.
- Attach the kneader blade to a heavy-duty stand mixer.
- In the stainless steel bowl, dump 3 cups flour (to start) 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Melt the butter or Crisco shortening in the microwave for about 22 seconds then dump into the bowl with the flour, sugar and salt.
- In a small cup add in the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1-1/4 cups warm water; cover with small clean cloth, and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes, stirring just once with a small spoon or whisk (if the yeast doesn't foam discard and start again).
- After 10 minutes, add in the yeast/water mixture into the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (careful not to add in too much flour, as this will create a heavy bread!).
- Knead for 7-8 minutes, or until dough is the right texture and is smooth.
- Remove dough from the bowl, and let sit on a lightly floured surface covered with a clean tea towel for 10 minutes (this is important!).
- After 10 minutes, knead very gently (dough will come together nicely).
- Form into a semi-round ball.
- Grease a large glass bowl (I just use the same stainless steel bowl that I made the dough in).
- Place the dough in the oiled bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and set in a warm place to rise aproximmately 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and remove to a floured surface.
- At this point you may cut the dough in half to make two small long breads, or keep into one piece for one large loaf.
- Using hands shape into a rectangle (no need to use a rolling pin this dough will shape very easy).
- Roll up tightly then seal all edges.
- Cover the shaped loaf/s with a clean dry tea towel, and let rise for about 30-35 minutes in a warm place.
- After rising set oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small cup whisk/mix together 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water.
- Lightly brush the egg white mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 25-33 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Delicious!

- To begin with you need to activate the dry yeast. You do that by adding the yeast to luke warm water and then adding honey (or sugar). When it start to bubble a little bit, the yeast is ready for the rest of the ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl you add salt, olive oil and flour and the yeast-mix. Then mix it all well and knead the dough preferably for 10-15 minutes!
- Then you let the dough rise, covered, for about half an hour. Hereafter you take the dough out of the bowl, divide it into two and form the two long breads. Those breads have to raise for about 15 minutes under a kitchen towel.
- When the breads has rested and raised, you brush the loaves with water and bake them at 440 degrees Fahrenheit in a pre-heated oven for about 15 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE A BAGUETTE - TASTE OF HOME

- Measure precisely. Carefully measure your dry ingredients and add them to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment. For best results, we recommend using a food scale to accurately measure your ingredients by weight.
- Add water. Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and begin mixing on your mixer’s lowest speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Once the dough begins to come together, increase to your mixer’s second speed and knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes.
- First rise. While the dough mixes, oil a large, square plastic container (2 to 4 quarts) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the dough to the container and cover with plastic.
- Divide the dough. Meanwhile, dust a work surface with flour and position a lightly dusted baking couche (or large linen tea towel) beside your main work area.
- Shape. Next, carefully stretch each of the four dough pieces gently with your fingers, so they’re about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Fold the longer ends of the dough toward the center, sealing the seam with the flat of your hand.
- Second rise. Transfer one baguette to the edge of your prepared baking couche. Pleat the couche so a ridge of fabric rests alongside the baguette.
- Prep the oven. With your oven rack in the middle position, add a large baking stone to the cold oven. Place a shallow roasting pan under the oven rack and begin to preheat your oven to 475°F.
- Score. When the baguettes have fully risen, transfer them from the couche to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For best results, tip the baguettes from the couche to the baking sheets rather than lifting them with your hands, which can cause them to deflate.
- Bake. Transfer the baguettes to the preheated oven, carefully sliding the baguettes and parchment onto the hot baking stone. Next, quickly fill the roasting tray with water to create steam and close the oven door.
