Baguettes

This will make 3 baguettes

1 packet dried yeast
300ml warm water
¾ tablespoon salt
525g strong bread flour

Add the yeast to the water and mix together. After 10 minutes when the yeast is starting to froth add the salt and then pour everything into the flour.
Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be wetter than normal bread dough. If it looks too dry add a little more water.

Remove the dough and place in a bowl with a little oil, put cling film over the bowl and place in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch the air out of it then return to the bowl and place it back in a warm place for another hour.

Tip the dough onto a floured surface and cut into 3 pieces. Shape each piece by hand into a long baguette. Place each baguette onto a floured tea towel. Make sure to put a fold in the tea towel between each baguette to stop the dough from spreading or sticking together. Cover with a tea towel and place to one side for another 30 minutes.

Once risen again move the baguettes to a baking tray. Using a knife score lines on the tops of the baguettes.

Bake in a fan-assisted oven for 40 minutes at 190C. Place a tray of boiling water at the bottom of the oven – this ensures a really crunchy crust.

Is there anything better than freshly-baked bread?
