Whipped Butter Ingredients

Method

Bread Making

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape Baguettes

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a long baguette.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Place shaped baguettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  8. 8

    Score and Bake

    Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal cuts on top of each baguette. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  9. 9

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
