Baguette
Yields: 3 Loaves
Ingredients
26 oz. Bread Flour (approx. 5cups plus
1tablespoon)
2 cups lukewarm water (16oz)
4 teaspoons instant yeast
3 teaspoons salt
Method
In a mixing bowl of a stand up mixer,
whisk together the bread flour, yeast
and salt. Make sure that the salt and
yeast do not come into direct contact.
With a paddle attachment, slowly add
the water. Then switch to a dough hook
and knead for 8 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly flour-
dusted countertop. Shape into a ball.
Cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for
30minutes.
Knead the dough by hand for
1-3minutes. Cover the dough and let
rest 1½hours.
Decompress the dough by gently
indenting with fingers into the center of
the dough. Stretch and fold the dough.
Working along the length of the dough,
start from the upper edge of the dough,
pull forward, away from you and then
bring it to the center. Pull the bottom of
the dough backwards (towards
yourself) and fold to the center. Do the
same for the left and right side of the
dough. Flip the dough over and cover
with plastic wrap. Let rest 1hour.
Divide the dough into three equal
portions
Shape the dough into 6"cylinders.
Working with one piece of dough at a
time, (keeping the other covered in
plastic wrap), shape into a rectangle.
Working along the length of the dough,
press with three fingers gently making
several indentations into the dough.
Repeat the process; roll the dough over
onto itself three times until the upper
edge meets the lower edge and creates
a deep seam. Sealing each turn with
your fingers. Pinch the seam tight and
let rest for about 5minutes (or when the
dough is relaxed enough to roll) with the
seam facing up. Cover with a towel.
Roll and shape the baguettes to fit the
universal tray. Place on universal tray,
seam side down, and let rest for about
5minutes covered with a towel.
Score each baguette 5times and place
directly into oven. Select the
MasterChef Plus program for Baguettes.
