Baguette (The Easiest Recipe) (2024)

Love this. Recepie made it several times with no issues I have used Robin Hood flour thank you for posting recepie

This recipe is god awful. I followed it exactly, step by step, tried all the troubleshooting provided, watched the video tutorials, everything. During no step did my dough look anything like the pictures, even though I followed the measurements exactly. I know the dough was supposed to be wet and sticky, but it was SO sticky that you literally can't form any shape whatsoever and you can't work it in your hands because it just sticks to your hands and the bowl constantly. The dough does not keep a shape at all. Every attempt I made to get it into a baguette shape, it simply melted into a flat blob. I can't even imagine how horrible it's gonna look when baked. I've had years of baking experience, I've made breads before, and I've never had a recipe turn out this awful.

I am trying your recipe, with high hopes, but honestly having to wade through 30+ ad windows is trying my patience.

Loved this bread. I have to work on my technique of shaping them, but they turned out great.

I just took mine out of the oven, they look amazing and smell even better! I read all the comments about using extra flour and I believe that helped my success here. I made a half batch because I was worried after reading the tips. Next time I am making a whole batch and sharing with my neighbors. Thank you everyone.

Hi
Great recipe But No Need for plastic wrap!
What did we use prior to plastic wrap?
Yes a towel over the top works just as well. People think. This plant doesn't need plastic wrap over every loaf of bread made.

My dough is very soft, and it doesn't have a nice baguette shape. It's flattening during the second proofing process. What did I wrong? Maybe I havetouse more flour? (I used king arthur organic bread flour)

Love the recipe. Super simple. Are there any changes to the recipe if I substitute whole wheat flour say with a 75 whole wheat/25 AP split?

Can I let it sit on the counter for 24-26 hours?

After reading other recipes I think I know what's wrong: the steam. The pan with hot water should go in the oven 5-10 minutes before the baguettes so it has time to come back up to boiling temperature and steam the oven. I will try a 3rd time.

I followed your recipe exactly for the second time. My baguettes came out hard as rocks. I wish I could upload a picture to get your feedback as to what may have gone wrong.

Hi! This recipe looks great. Could I bake the loaves in a large preheated Dutch oven, rather than put water in the oven? Thanks!

Is there a baguette recipe for not the overnight process?

Excellent recipe. This is a keeper. Next time I am going to jazz it up a little. Thanks so much for this recipe.

I did everything exactly how the recipe said and the bread didn't work out. The dough was on the counter top for 16 hours and when I decided to bake it, it stank because it already перекисло. And the dough was to flat, even with adding a whole bunch of flour for it not to be stinky and flat. I don't know what I did wrong.

I halved this recipe and even though my dough wasn't sticky or bubbly on the top it still baked up fantastically. I need to work on my shaping but even halved I think I could have easily made two baguettes.

I tried shaping my dough like the video but they’re still kinda flat. I followed the recipe to a T

These are unbelievably easy and so good! Made many times already. Thank you for such an amazing recipe.

What temp is the baguette when done

Used Robinhood AP flour, after first proof, the dough came out very wet and sticky, even after thoroughly flouring the surface and hands. The knife scoring didn't work, immediately disappears into the raw dough. What a mess! I watched the dough shaping video a lot and did many pinches, and the rolls become flat almost immediately. I weighed out the cups of flour and water precisely. Will try baking it but not hopeful.

i just bought a baguette baking pan should i put the dough in it to rise for the 1-2 hours or after it has risen on a sheet pan! i have made this bread twice and love it! thank you!

I’m at high altitude and loaf is flat, s should I add more flour at the beginning before rise or as I shape?

My daughter and I made baguettes yesterday using this recipe and they turned out perfect! I had to freeze a loaf to keep my family from eating it all. Nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Will make again!

My dough is almost to the top of my bowl after only a few hours of resting should I just leave it alone, transfer to a larger bowl, or can it be used earlier?

My loaves "spread out" more than I would have liked during the rise. Do you think, perhaps, I should add a bit more flour with shaping my loaves? Thanks so much!!

The easiest and most delicious bread! My first try - success! Thank you so much!

Hi Natasha this is my second attempt and although my baguettes are less flat than last time they still don’t have that nice round shape. I watched your video twice. Maybe bread making is not my forte lol.

Hi, Natalya. Can I bake one loaf in a loaf pan? Thanks.

Just made these and while I don't have a double rack in my oven to do the water method, I just put them in there as is, and they came out PERFECT. I turned my convection switch on and they baked in less than 30 minutes, about 20 minutes. I kept an eye on it until they were golden. How do you suggest storing them? I can probably freeze one if you think that's an option. Is a bread bag fine or should it be wrapped in something?
