Best No Knead Baguette image

I got this off of the internet and so I thought I'd try it. I have not made it as of yet, but plan to within the week. With just the two of us, a loaf can last a few days. I love the feel and smell of a good yeast dough, but for busy days, this comes in handy. Hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think of it. Times don't include 2 hour rise time.

1 1/2 cups warm water (110 -115 )

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.

  • Roll each half into a 10"x8" rectangle. Roll up from the long side; pinch along seam edges to seal.
