RECIPE*
------
▪225g or 1c warm water (90F/32C)
▪350g or 3c bread flour
▪10g or 1 3/4tsp salt
▪8g or 1 3/4tsp instant yeast
▪30g or 3Tbsp warm water (86F/30C)
Add flour and 225g/1c of the 90F/32C water to a bowl and stir to combine. When dough has combined into a shaggy ball, begin to squeeze and pinch the dough with a very wet hand. When the dough forms a less shaggy, more cohesive ball, add salt to top of dough. Cover dough.
In a separate container add yeast and 30g or 1/4c of the 86F/30C water and stir to combine. Allow both the dough and yeast mixture to sit for 15-20min. Add yeast mixture into the salted dough. Mix with a soaking wet hand by pinching and turning. Once yeast and salt are fully incorporated, cover and allow to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Perform a strength building fold as shown @2:29. Cover and allow to sit at room temp for 30 more minutes. Perform a second strength building fold - see @2:59. Cover and allow to ferment at room temp for another 90 minutes.
Place a piece of well oiled parchment on an upside down sheet tray.
Flour work surface and dough and flip dough onto work surface. Divide dough into two equal pieces (300g each). Degas and preshape dough balls as shown @3:50. Cover and allow to relax for 15-20min.
Shape dough balls into baguettes as shown @4:22. Place shaped baguettes onto oiled parchment, cover and allow to proof at room temp for 60-90 minutes. I’m using the foil pan linked here: . After proofing, the baguettes should have risen by about 50-60%.
Spray well with water, then score the top of the baguettes, cover again with foil pan, and bake in a preheated 450F/230C oven for 30-35min, carefully removing the cover after 15 minutes of bake time.
*for reference, the “room temp” of my house at the time of filming this video was 69-70F/20-21C.

IF USING A STAND MIXER:
Mix flour and water in a stand mixer on med low for 4-5 minutes or until dough forms a shaggy ball. Add salt to top and allow to sit for 15min. Mix yeast and 30g warm water an let sit for 15min. Mix yeast Into dough on low for 4-5 mins or until a ball forms. Cover and allow to sit fir 30 min. Follow above instructions starting with the first strength building fold.

To avoid common problems some people mostly encounter with these baguettes, follow this standard advice procedure and you won't go wrong.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities are very important for successful results
2. Use scales for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate
3. Use proper white bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour, plain or all purpose flour is not strong enough for making bread.
4. Check your yeast is working you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here

HOMEMADE FRENCH BREAD // EASY STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
This is an easy French bread recipe that anyone can make! This bread is soft and fluffy on the inside and has an amazing crisp crust on the outside...just the way you want it! Before you know it, you'll be pulling your own bakery style loaves out of the oven and patting yourself on the back! Let's get cooking!
French Bread Recipe:
3 cups warm water ( 115 degrees )
1 1/2 TBSP. active dry yeast with a dash of sugar
2 TBSP. sugar
1 TBSP. salt
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
7-8 cups flour
1 egg white for brushing on loaves
In a small bowl add the warm water, yeast and dash of sugar. Stir with a whisk and cover for 10 minutes until yeast mixture is foamy. Meanwhile in a large bowl or mixer add sugar, salt, and melted butter. When yeast is foamy add it to the mixture and stir. Add 3 cups flour, mix. Then add 2 more cups, mix. Add the last 2 cups (making a total of 7 cups) and mix. Feel the dough, if it is sticky add a little bit of flour until it is easy to handle and isn't sticky. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray and place dough in bowl, spray top of dough and cover with a towel or cling wrap lightly. Let the dough raise until double in size.
Punch down dough and divide into 2 large loaves, 6 small and 1 large, or 12 small loaves. Roll each loaf to desired shape and place on a sprayed baking sheet. With kitchen shears or a sharp knife cut angled slits on top of loaves. Beat 1 egg white and brush on top of loaves. Let raise uncovered until double in size (about 30-40 minutes).
Place dough into preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes (large loaf) or 15-20 minutes (small loaves).

Easy French Bread Step-by-Step Recipe (with the help of your Instant Pot!)

Easy French Bread Recipe
2 ¼ cups warm water (not too hot to drink but hotter than luke warm)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp yeast (instant or active dry yeast)
2 ½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
5–6 cups of all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
Fit your stand mixer with a dough hook (if you don’t have a stand mixer you can just use a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon). Add in the water, sugar and yeast. If using active dry yeast let the mixture sit for 3 minutes, until foamy. If using instant yeast, no need to wait go on to step 2.
Add in the salt, oil and 2 cups of the flour and mix on low for 15 seconds. Add in 3-4 more cups of flour a little at a time while the mixer is on low. Stop adding flour once the dough clears the sides and middle of the bowl. Then let the mixer knead the bread for 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
Spray your Instant Pot liner with non stick cooking spray. Add the dough into the Instant Pot. Turn your Instant Pot to the yogurt setting and click adjust until it select the yogurt button. Use the adjust button to cycle through until the light is on the “less.” My pot says 24 hours on the display. Then cover the pot with a glass lid or a plate (see note). Let the dough double in size, about 30 minutes.
Spread a little flour on your counter and turn the dough onto the counter. Divide the dough in half. Pat each dough ball into a rectangle a little bigger than the size of a notebook paper. Roll the dough up starting from the long size and press out any air bubbles with the heel of your hand. Pinch the seam. Place the bread seam side down on a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick spray or lined with parchment (see note). Then repeat with the other loaf of bread.
Use a serrated knife to slash four lines (very gently) in the top of your bread.
Lay a clean kitchen towel over the top of the bread and let it raise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Heat your oven to 375° F. Bake for 12 minutes and then rotate the pan and bake for 12 more minutes until the bread is golden.
Note: DO NOT use the normal Instant Pot lid. If you do the dough might raise so high that it pushes the valve up and indicates to the pot that there is pressure. You won't be able to open the pot and the lid will be stuck.
