Quick 30 Minute French Bread & Baguettes
1 3/4 cups lukewarm water (414 g)
1 Tbsp sugar (12 g)
2 tsp instant yeast (6 g)
4 1/4 cups bread flour (510 g) (Here is my recipe for fresh milled baguettes)
2 tsp salt (12 g)
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a stand mixer for 2 minutes. Check the dough—it should be soft and slightly tacky. Knead for 7 minutes.
Turn the dough out immediately, divide into 2 pieces using a bench knife, and shape into baguettes. Place on a cookie sheet, baguette pan, or French bread pan. Score the tops with a lame for expansion.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Enjoy!
*If you're looking for an alternative to plastic bread bags, our beeswax bread bags are a healthy way to store your bread! They are reusable, made of 100% cotton, infused with organic beeswax and coconut oil, naturally antibacterial to keep your bread from molding, and handmade by me and my daughters on our family farm!
