Recipe's preparation

  1. Place
    all ingredients into TM bowl in the order listed. (We are keeping the salt away from the yeast.)

    Blend
    together for 15 seconds on speed 7.

    With
    dial set to Closed lidclosed lid position,
    knead for 3 minutes at Interval speedDough mode. Allow to rest in TM
    bowl for 10 minutes.

    Re-knead
    for a further 3 minutes at Interval speed.Gentle stir setting The dough will be quite
    dense, yet flexible.

    Turn
    out onto lightly oiled ThermoMat and prove until doubled. (Up to 3 hours.)

    Divide
    dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each separately into long rectangle (10cm longer than the bread tin).

    Fold
    in both long sides towards each other in the centre and push together to seal
    dough. Tuck in ends and seal by pinching together as well. Turn over, seam down
    and place into baguette tin. Allow to prove again, covered loosely with
    ThermoMat.

    Preheat
    oven to 220ºC. Place large baking tray in bottom of oven and adjust a rack to
    be in centre of oven.

    When
    loaves have risen to your liking, slash tops on an angle with an extremely
    sharp knife or blade. Spritz with water from sprayer if available. Place into
    hot oven and then immediately pour at least 750ml cold water into heated baking
    tray. Shut oven and bake loaves for 20-25 minutes until golden and hollow
    sounding when tapped. Turn oven off.

    Turn
    loaves upside down and return to oven for a few minutes.

    Cool
    slightly before slicing and serving with fresh butter.

Tip

Baguettes taste even better after chilling the dough in the refrigerator. After the dough has proven in step 2, gently de-gas the dough by folding it over itself, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. The next day proceed with step 3 as per recipe. Baguette may need 10-20 minutes longer to prove in step 4 prior to baking.

    Been making these for a couple of years now with great results.
    because there was a shortage of bakers flour a few mths back we sourced one from a wholesale supplier, was not good, baguettes didn't live up to the previous, I will only use DEFIANCE Bakers flour now for my baguettes.

    You can chill the dough in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight.

    I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong but once again my bread making attempts were pretty woeful. The result for me was a more dense result than expected. Maybe my lack of proper baking pans didn’t help. Will attempt again though.

    Submitted by Dishwood on 24. March 2017 - 08:32.

    What a success! I did replace some of the flour with a couple of small handfuls of rolled oats and then sprinkled some on top before cooking.
    The bread was light and delicious and no concerns if it freezes well as it was all consumed on the day.

    Next time ile I will divide the mixture into three or four to make individual baguettes.

    Hi tammmz,

    Yes you could make this without a baguette tin however it won't retain a true baguette bread shape.

    Kind regards,

    Do you think I could make this without a baguette bread tin? 

    Could I place it straight on a flat tray into the oven instead?

    Submitted by moreta on 23. July 2015 - 15:03.

    You must use plain flour not SR. Sometimes you can get bakers flour which is better as it has a higher percentage of gluten but any plain flour will do.

    Submitted by Kmwilliams_86 on 11. April 2014 - 21:59.

    When it asks for bakers flour is that a different type of flour I need to get or can I just use plain or SR?

    Thank you, thank you! My kids have been nagging me to make French baguettes for a long time (they were so used to a regular dose, as we lived in Belgium before...) but I never thought it was this easy to make. Now I know and wow, these are delicious!!

    Cooking 7 Great instructions ! Used the other baguette recipe posted here wbut with all bakers flour but found the instructions with a pan of water in the oven and the kneading instructions more helpful. I did prove it overnight in the fridge as per the other recipe though! Turned out great!
