French Baguette

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.

  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F with a Dutch inside. Seriously, this is the secret to that crispy crust.

  • A couple of eggs (room temp, please)
  • 1/2 cup of milk (any kind you’ve got)
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter (let it cool a bit)
  • A pinch of salt (just a pinch)
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder (the magic rise-maker)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan like you mean it.
  2. In a big bowl, mix the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center—this is where the magic happens.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, milk, and melted butter until they’re best friends.
  4. Pour the wet mix into the well of the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—overmixing is the enemy of fluffy bread.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle a handful of oats on top for that Instagram-worthy finish.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Do the toothpick test—if it comes out clean, you’re golden.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Resist cutting into it for at least 20 minutes—it’s worth the wait.

Crunchy on the outside, soft and slightly chewy inside, this bread is a dream toasted with a smear of butter. Or, go wild and use it as the base for your next French toast adventure.

Rye Bread

Rye Bread

Zesty and robust, rye bread brings that hearty, tangy kick to your table. No fluff, just flavor—let’s bake.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of rye flour
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • A splash of molasses
  • 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.
