HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE BAGUETTE 🥖😚🤌 5 ingredients & no stand mixer needed—recipe below! Homemade Baguettes 1 & ¼ cups warm water (between 105° and 115°F) 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp instant yeast 2 & ¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 tsp salt In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, and instant yeast. Mix in the all-purpose flour and salt, using a spatula, until you have a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead, using your hands, for about 3-5 minutes, or until you have a nice smooth dough. Transfer the dough back to the mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place the bowl somewhere warm for about 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubles doubled in size. After the dough has doubled in size, transfer it to a clean, floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle (about 1 cm thick), using your hands. Fold the long sides of the baguette dough towards the center in three folds, like a letter, then pinch the seam closed tightly. Roll and shape into two equal-sized logs and then place them seam down, on a parchment paper– lined baking sheet. Place this somewhere warm for about 1 hour, to rise once again. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Using a sharp knife, score the baguettes. Sprinkle the loaves with all-purpose flour, to give them a rustic feel, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
