Ingredients
- 0.5 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir the mixture until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a long, thin loaf. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush the mixture over the top of the loaves.
- Using a sharp knife, make shallow slashes across the top of the loaves.
- Bake the baguettes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove the baguettes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
That's it for Sophie Dubois's Baguette recipe! We hope you enjoyed this journey through the world of French baking. Whether enjoyed warm with a smear of butter or used to make the perfect sandwich, these baguettes are sure to impress. Bon appétit!
