Makes: 3
Prep Time: 15 mins Plus proofing overnight
Cook time: 30 min
Things you need:
Poolish:
120g All purpose unbleached flour
113g water
Pinch of instant yeast (0.03g)
Dough:
420g All purpose unbleached flour
9g instant yeast
12g salt
255g lukewarm water
Steps:
Mix all polish ingredients together in a bowl. Cover with cling film and leave at room temperature for 15-18 hr or overnight
Next day add the contents to the stand mixer. With all of the dough ingredients and mix for 5 mins medium low. Dough should be slightly sticky.
Roll out into a rough ball and put into a greased bowl. Cover let rest for 40 mins
After this fold dough in a bowl as per video. Cover and rest again 40 mins
Flour surface and top of dough. Turns out. Flatten and portion into 3 pieces, anywhere between 190g-205g each works
Roll into log as per video. Let rest covered for 10 mins
Flour couche or tea towels etc. Roll each baguette as per video. Place into a floured couche seam side up. Cover and rest for 45 mins to 1 hr.
Flip onto peel (cardboard one will do) place seam side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pour boiling water into an oven tray that’s sitting in the bottom of a preheated oven at 460F. Close the oven and settle for 3-5 mins.
Place your baguettes into the oven and spray with water generously all over. Close the oven and bake for 28-30 mins.
Rest on the wire rack when done and let them cool down before cutting into one. I won’t blame you for eating one hot out of the oven with butter. Enjoy.
