French Baguette Recipe! (How To Make French Baguette) Williams-Sonoma Recipe For French Baguette

French Baguette Recipe! (How To Make French Baguette) Williams-Sonoma Recipe For French Baguette
Today I'm sharing a video where I show you how I make delicious French baguettes with only 4 ingredients! In this video, I use some special equipment. I use baguette pans and a couch. I describe all of this in the video. This is a tutorial from start to finish where you can follow along if you like. These baguettes take a time commitment. You start the dough on day 1, then knead/proof/bake on day 2. It is SO worth it! They are yummy! Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! I guarantee these won't last long in your home!
French Baguettes RECIPE:
You start this recipe on Day 1 and finish on Day 2
Yield: 4 baguettes
Ingredients
● 700 g bread flour ( 5 1/3 cups)
● 15 g active dry yeast ( 3 tsp)
● 17 g salt ( 2 3/4 tsp)
● 450 g room temperature water ( 1 3/4 cups)
Directions for Day 1
1. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
2. Add water and combine to a sticky dough.
3. Dust with flour, cover with cling film and a tea towel; and leave dough in a warm area for 12-24 hours.
Directions for Day 2
4. On a well-floured surface, knead dough for 10 minutes.
5. Put dough back into the bowl, dust with flour and cover with cling film and a tea towel and let rise 3 hours.
6. Transfer the dough to your well-floured workspace and divide into 4 even balls.
7. Pre-shape your baguettes: Roll each piece into a log shape and place on a floured surface for 20 minutes.
8. Roll the dough out into the shape of the baguette.
9. Place each baguette on your floured couche. Cover loosely with cling film and let rest 30 minutes.
10. Preheat your oven to 450 F (230 C, gas mark 8). Place a pan filled with hot water inside the bottom of your oven.
11. Score the top of your baguettes diagonally 4 times, with a sharp knife.
12. Bake for 30-35 minutes until light to golden brown.
13. Let rest in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
Tips
➢ Best eaten the same day you bake them!
➢ Special equipment: baguette pans and baking couche

    You can put your baguettes in the freezer and then the day you wanna eat them, 10mn in the oven and it's perfect.😋👍French trick to always have a good baguette at any time. My mother used to buy ten baguettes each week and cut them all in half and put them in the freezer... You know the rest😁 And if you have old bread, fry bread, cut it in slices and put it in the oven at 50 degrees Celsius during an hour at least. You will get homemade biscottes 😋 that it is easy to keep a few days in a plastic sceled bag. Very good at breakfast with butter and jam, but also with a soup, cheese or paté 😁. It's so crunchy 😋 By the way, you should cut your dough in the baguette holder just before putting it in the oven, and not with a knife, but with a razor blade, very quickly. You will get perfect openings. 😜👍 My grandfather was a baker in the south of France and that's how he was doing it 😊 😘💕

How neat that your grandfather was a French baker, he definitely knew what he was doing and he passed on that knowledge to you! ☺ This was the first time I ever made those baguettes and I'd completely forgotten about the razor blade. That knife I used was barely sharp, so now I have a razor in my possession just for bread! And thanks for the freezing tips and the biscottes!!! ♥♥

    Hello. I have a trick for you. I used to work in a bakery at a grocery store and when people wanted to take a loaf of fresh bread home to freeze, I used to send them home with a piece of parchment paper. Cool your bread COMPLETELY, wrap firmly in parchment paper, wrap that in plastic wrap and finally wrap firmly in foil. Keep wrapped while thawing. The paper absorbs any excess moisture while it thaws, throw in the freezer and you will be golden. Hope this helps. Works on all bread / roll / bagel products. Have a great day and thanks for the video. Papa Mark

The baguette baking trays worked wonders. I see you have the wine ready to go with these (hope there's your home made cheese too) - so yummy!

    Very good video, Rain! I have prep towels and when I wash them, I only wash with a certain thing because of the transfer smells, if I would wash them with regular soap. So true. Love the story of you didn't know there were two pans! But then it worked better for your oven that way. I love these kinds of natural happenings as a baker. Same when I make dough, I use blood/room temperature water as well. Only thing different is that I often put my dough in the fridge for a nice long nap. Then take the dough out that I want made fresh that day. Works really well. A nice low and slow nap in the fridge, covered well. So much fun to bake. I never did your fold and pinch method but will try that. I love how your bread turned out and I enjoyed this video quite a lot.

    @@amanyyacoub3661 Hi Amany! Thank you for trying the recipe! I'm not sure what you mean by "crumbles"...do you mean it's very stale? Or do you mean it's too soft? I was just wondering, how do you store it? This recipe has no preservatives like the store bought bread, so it's best eaten the same day. I usually put the baguettes in a paper bag in the cupboard, but it gets hard and stale quite quickly. If I wrap it in cling film, it gets soft and loses the crunch. Let me know okay? ☺

They really do lose that if you don't eat or freeze them quickly., so maybe the vac would work. Just don't crush them by taking out too much air. I'd live to hear how it works.

    Thank you Rain for sharing your recipe. I love making baguettes almost every Saturday. And I like to try different good recipes. Can't wait to try yours🥰. For the little trick to keep the baguettes crunchy, i foil them when they are still crunchy & freeze them. Take the baguettes off the fridge 15 mins before consuming, the baguettes would be as crusty as they were originally. I used to do that in France. 🇲🇺🇲🇫🇨🇦. Hope it works for you too. Good Luck!

Either put the yeast with the flour, mix it and then the salt or the salt first and after mixing it with the flour, then the yeast but both can't have direct contact, otherwise your dough won't rise properly, cheers

    I enjoyed watching you make the baguettes and wish I could make them, too. But it’s too involved as far as I’m concerned. I’ m 94 years old. For breakfast, I eat a sliced boiled egg on bread with Miracle Whip. I discovered that a baguette is the perfect size for the slices so that I’m not eating so much bread. Not that it makes any difference, I’m not overweight, I’m not on any diet or anything, that’s just what I prefer to eat. My tastes have changed with age. So, I look for a store that sells that type of brea😅d ! I haven’t found one with that good crunch yet.

    I'm so glad you are not giving up! Ingredients are so different too. The yeast I use now is Red Star brand. I used to use Fleischmann brand and I see a HUGE difference in my rise. Red Star is a much better yeast. I use Robin Hood flour, unbleached...small differences can change things a lot. Did you let the dough sit somewhere nice and warm to rise/sit? I used to leave it on the counter, but I found it rose much better when I sit it in the microwave, it's so warm and toasty in there and the yeast seems to love it. I'm no expert or technical baker Tina, but I know that if you substitute all purpose flour for bread flour, it won't ruin your bread. You might see a difference though because bread flour has more gluten protein - which helps with the rise and the crust. In your case, you might actually prefer the AP flour version, it might make the crust less hard, but that's just a guess. Bread flour also absorbs liquid better, so you might need to add more flour as you knead so it's not a big sticky pile of dough! Please do let me know how it goes! I used to make my No Knead Bread with AP flour and it turned out the same as when I substituted with bread flour, just to let you know! I haven't tried a baguette recipe that has AP flour as the ingredient yet!
