1
Activate the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
Mix the Dough
Add the salt and all-purpose flour gradually to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Shape the Baguettes
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a long baguette.
7
Prepare the Baking Soda Bath
In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully, as it will bubble up.
8
Boil the Baguettes
Gently place one baguette at a time into the boiling soda water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.

9
Add Toppings
Brush the boiled baguettes with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
10
Bake
Bake the baguettes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
11
Cool and Serve
Remove the baguettes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
