My First Sourdough Baguettes!


Recipe!

400g ap flour
300g water
100g levain
8g salt

Bulk ferment for 5 hours with stretch and folds then put in the fridge overnight

Next day shaped and proofed one more hour before baking at 500F for 25 with steam for the first ten

My first try at Baguettes! The shaping definitely needs some work but overall I’m super happy with them! Let me know what you think.

    How did you get the steam? Does your oven have steam or did you spray the dough? Tray of water? They look fantastic.

    We dont have ap flour in europe. U think it might work with 00 pizza flour? Or is it too strong?

    They look smashing. Just a bit of real butter, some confiture, and a bowl of café au lait. That would make a brilliant start of any day.
