How To make French Sourdough Bread

How To Make Traditional French Baguettes At Home

These sourdough baguettes are some of the best that you can bake at home. They take a lot of patience, but once you hear that crunch, and taste they're incredible flavor then you shouldn't have a problem with that. Now Technically these are slightly shorter than a typical baguette, also known as demi baguettes. That's just so they can fit in your darn oven.

Baguettes Masterclass with Patrick Ryan

Classic baguettes!
This recipe takes up to 3 days to make, which might seem a little bit crazy, but we promise you the results are worth it.

________________________________________________
(We've had a few comments about the preferment being a little too dry and not looking like Patrick's in the video. He's double checked his numbers and realised he meant to say that you need 290ml water in the preferment. Apologies for the mistake! But, it's a good excuse to try another batch ????

So, for the preferment:
450g strong (bread) flour
7g salt
290ml water
5g fresh yeast (or generous pinch dried yeast)

The rest of the recipe stays the same.)
________________________________________________
This dough produces 6-8 baguettes and the dough can be held in a fridge for up to 36 hours. If you do not wish to bake all the dough at once, simply take what you need, shape it and bake it, leaving the remainder of the dough in the fridge which you can return to at any time within that 36-hour time period. This will allow you to bake fresh baguettes day after day.

Or, bake all the baguettes in one go and freeze them. They're easily brought back to their crispy state by thawing at room temperature then dampening with water and heating the oven for about 10 minutes.


Don't forget, we love to see what you've been baking, so please find us on our social channels and show us what you've made!

How I Make Sourdough Bread Every Day In LESS Than 30 Minutes (hands-on time)

This is the process that I use to bake sourdough bread every day. I've cut the process down to a minimum while making sure that I still get a fantastic loaf of bread.

It's not quite as speedy as my no-knead recipe but the crumb is a little more organised with less of a random open crumb.

How to Make Sourdough French Bread

Do you want to learn to make your own homemade sourdough bread? So did I and I set out to learn and get my own sourdough starter going in my own homestead kitchen.

The recipe I used in this video can be found in Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads on Amazon.

I am inspired by Jill Winger of The Prairie Homestead to do more home baking for our family. You can find her BRAND NEW cookbook, “The Prairie Homestead Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Heritage Cooking in Any Kitchen” at Find her YouTube channel at and her Blog at
