Ultimate Sourdough Baguettes: NOT for the birds. Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into six pieces (for thin baguettes) or three pieces (for thicker Italian loaves). Shape each piece into a 16" long loaf, and place the loaves, at least 4" apart, on parchment-lined baking sheets, or in lightly greased baguette pans (French loaf pans).
The key to getting a golden crust on your French Baguettes is all in the baking. Place a shallow pan filled with water in the bottom of your oven and preheat to 450 degree F. This will create the steam necessary for creating the perfectly golden, crunchy crust on your bread.
Heat your oven to 300-350 degrees F. Place the baguette in the oven right on the rack. Heat for 5-8 minutes. Then serve warm. I swear this method makes these french baguettes taste like they were just baked! An easy recipe that makes 2 large baguettes or 4 mini baguettes. Add the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar to a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup of warm water.
