BAGUETTE








BAGUETTE (1)


I like Baguette 
because of its spongy interior 
wrapped in its crackling crust

It is versatile
can be served in many ways


Just the basic bread ingredients
 with
a lengthy preparation time
that 
developed the aroma and flavor of its very own

such lovely design

A) Pate Fermente     
     35g bread flour
     26g water
     1/8 tsp yeast
     scant pinch of salt

B) Poolish
     35g bread flour
     35g water
     1/16 tsp yeast

C) Main Dough
     135g bread flour
     75g water
    
     1/2 & 1/8 tsp salt
     1/4 tsp yeast

Method:
1) mix the pate fermente (A) & poolish (B) in separate bowls, 
    cover & age in fridge up to 24 hours or 3 hours @ room temperature
2) when time is up, bring pate fermente & poolish to room temperature 
3) at the same time, mix flour & water in main dough (C), cover & 
     allow to autolyse for 20-30min
4) put all 3 doughs into bread maker, add remaining salt & yeast
5) knead for 15min and let rise 1.5 hours
6) dust work surface with flour because the dough is quite wet.
     Divide dough into 2 parts & shape by folding & rolling
7) cover & let proof until very puffy about 1-1.5 hours
8) score bread at 45' angle & 1/2 inch deep with a sharp blade
9) spritz bread heavily just before putting into preheated oven 220'C
10) bake for 25-30min until deep golden brown
11) switch off oven, open door 2" & leave baguette inside for 5min

Hi Katie, thanks for your recipe,
I tried this out today but it was very crusty and quite dark in colour at 200 degrees in fan forced oven.
The bubbles were large and variable size.
I'll post a photo but can't do it in this thread.
I would really appreciate any advice.
It was tasty, but I'm nowhere near your beautiful result.
I will have to practice more.

Katie Foong: Perhaps your oven is hot.
How about reduce the heat to 190 instead?
You can also tent your buns with aluminium foil when it is getting dark !
