Making homemade baguettes is way easier than you think. This recipe uses a simple starter called poolish that gives you bakery-quality bread with minimal effort. The crust comes out crispy and flaky, the inside is soft and airy, and you only need a few basic ingredients. No kneading required, just a couple of quick folds and you’re done. Just 4 ingredients!
*Ingredients:*
For the Poolish:
* Water – ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp. (100 ml)
* Fresh yeast – ⅔ tsp. (2 g) OR dry yeast – ⅓ tsp. (1 g)
* Bread flour – ¾ cup + 2 tbsp. (100 g)
*For the Dough:*
Water – ½ cup (120 ml)
Bread flour – 1¾ cups (220 g)
Salt – 1 tsp. (6 g)
Yes, that’s really it. 4 ingredients to make the perfect baguettes at home.

Tools I Used:
Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/3OZQQT3 (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)
Alternative pan:
* https://amzn.to/49UyaOo – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* https://amzn.to/4gnx6Fb – same as the previous pan.
These classic French baguettes have a golden, crispy crust that’s super flaky and an interior that’s soft with very nice air pockets. They slice perfectly for sandwiches, taste amazing with butter, or you can just tear them apart and eat them warm.

MaşaAllah çok güzel ellerinize sağlık ❤
Looks great and delicious 😋
Thanks for this recipe ❤❤
Is there any benefit to using fresh yeast over dry yeast?
Do I have to use an air tight lid on the bowl or can I use a plate or a towel or something? I don’t have specific lids for my mixing bowls.
Eu sou do 🇧🇷 ótima baguete 🥖 você é de qual país?
Every timer I try using this techniques with a bio flour,the dough is sticky.
So much work and time for 3 baguettes 😂
This looks amazing! Where are the bowls from, they look super handy for bread making.
What brand are those baking pans? Dimensions?
How is this recipe different from the one posted a year ago?
Love it❤❤❤

Bonne et heureuse année 2026 je vous souhaite une année qui n a pas besoin d être parfaite pour être belle, que cette année vous apporte ce que l argent ne peut pas acheter.
So then you need a special cooking tool.
This is one of the best productions I've ever seen. The filming is perfect and the sound is exquisite and your obvious connection with the ingredients and process are magical. I've been baking for nearly 30 years and am moved to start over. Again. With this as my guide. Thank you. I've got a vegan friend who will soon be crunching a baguette.
Can you freeze the loaves before baking? There's only one of me, and I can't eat that much bread before it spoils
Hi watching from india ! Could u plz show us the recipe for sourdough made with rye flour. That rustic sourdough look.
Unintentional ASMR 😩❤️
I have an obsession with bread and I love your video style, I will try to make some bread once I get yeast
So jealous…mine never come out this perfect. Mine are always dense and heavy. The shape is right, but the bread is like a brick
Tried ordering the pans they recommend from Amazon. After waiting 6 weeks I had to cancel, not worth the wait. Amazon said they were going to mark the seller as false or unreliable. Too bad, because they looked like nice pans.
I am watching from Brazil.
This looks easy and delish! I have attempted to grow a sourdough starter, but Yeastie Boys are not growing. Think this method with “Poolish” is the better and less time consuming method..thank you for such simple and concise instructions and no excessive yammering.
