French Baguette

Let’s bake the crispiest, dreamiest French baguette that’ll have your kitchen smelling like a Parisian bakery. No fancy skills needed—just flour, water, and a bit of patience.

Ingredients

• 4 cups of bread flour (because all-purpose just won’t cut it)
• 1 1/2 cups of warm water (think baby bath temp, around 110°F)
• 2 tsp of salt (the secret to flavor town)
• 1 tsp of sugar (just a lil’ something to feed the yeast)
• 1 packet of active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
• A splash of olive oil (for that smooth dough life)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it’s frothy—this means your yeast is alive and kicking.
2. Add flour and salt to the yeast mix. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Pro tip: If the dough sticks, add a bit more flour, but don’t go overboard.
3. Coat the dough with a splash of olive oil, place it in a bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough (the fun part), divide into 2 pieces, and shape each into a long baguette. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Score the tops with a sharp knife (about 3 diagonal cuts) to let them expand beautifully in the oven. Let them rest for 20 minutes—this is crucial for that airy interior.
6. Preheat your oven to 475°F. Before baking, throw a cup of water into a preheated pan at the bottom of the oven to create steam. Bake the baguettes for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sounding hollow when tapped.

Voilà! You’ve got baguettes with a crackly crust and soft, chewy inside. Slather with butter while warm, or go fancy with a charcuterie board. Either way, it’s a win.

• 1 1/2 cups of water (a splash more if your dough’s being stubborn)
• 2 tsp of salt (because flavor matters)

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, starter, and water in a big bowl until it’s shaggy. Let it rest for 30 minutes—this is the autolyse, and it’s magic for gluten development.

3. Let the dough rise at room temp (around 75°F) for 4-6 hours, folding it every hour. This builds strength and those gorgeous air pockets.
4. Shape your dough into a round or oval, then let it proof in a floured basket for another 2-4 hours. It should look puffy and alive.
5. Preheat your oven to 475°F with a Dutch inside. Seriously, this is the secret to that crispy crust.
6. Score the top of your dough with a razor (be bold!), then bake covered for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 25 until it’s deep golden.
7. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. I know, the wait is brutal, but it’s worth it.

• A couple of teaspoons of caraway seeds
• 1 packet of active dry yeast
• A pinch of salt
• 1 1/4 cups of warm water (about 110°F)
• A drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

1. Whisk together rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water, then stir in molasses until smooth.
3. Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, add caraway seeds, and mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
6. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place on a baking sheet. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tip: For a shinier crust, brush the loaf with water before baking. Tip: Let the dough rise in a slightly warm oven for best results. Tip: Toast slices and slather with butter for an extra flavor boost.

This rye bread boasts a dense, chewy texture with a deep, malty sweetness. Perfect for sandwiches or simply enjoyed with a smear of cream cheese and smoked salmon.
