Categories     Bread

Yield 3 loafs

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups Flour
1 tbsp. Fast Rise Yeast
1/4 tsp. sugar
1-2 tsp. Salt
2 cups Warm Water
Oil for bowl

Steps:

  • 1. Combine Sugar, Yeast and 1/4 cup of warm water (105-115 degrees) in a large bowl. Allow to sit until foamy. About 5 minutes. 2. In another bowl, mix together the flour and the salt. 3. Combine yeast mixture, the remaining warm water (1-3/4 cups), and half of the flour/salt mixture. Using your hands, mix until it forms a dough. Then, cover with a dish cloth and let sit at room temperature for 3 hours. It should triple in size. 4. Gently incorporate the rest of the flour/salt, using your hands. 5. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. It should be supple and elastic when you stop kneading. 6. Cut dough into 3 parts and form each part into a long baguette and cut a slit in top lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet. Let sit for 20 minutes. 7. Preheat oven to 450°F. 8. Place a bowl of water in the oven. Bake baguettes for about 25 minutes (maybe less, depending on your loaf size/shape). Voilà!
