Fresh home made bread is so delicious. Even with just butter its irresistible to me.

I wish I had time to bake lately.

    The 5 Minute Baguette is a complete game changer.

    Big bowl, 4g salt, then 240g flour, then 1g yeast, then 200g water; Mix it together with a spoon or whatever; cover and leave it 12h. Preheat to 480ºF and bake for 20 minutes.

    I bake mine on a lightly-oiled baking sheet because the first time I didn't have parchment paper and tried wax paper instead (with hilarious consequences).

    Yes there are two secrets here, you have to let the yeast react with the flour for a couple of hours after you mix them, it has to grow double in size for sure and then in the oven put somewhere some water inside, the steam from the water will make them crispy on the outside

    I’ve never managed to make good baguettes before. These look scrumptious.

    I have never even tried to make a baguette. But if I'm ever going to make a bahn mi from scratch I will eventually need to.

    Definitely agree fresh bread is the best, used to work at a sandwich shop and anytime I had to make bread I would always make my own to eat (what hooked me on BLT's).

    Are socks with sandals considered the shoes off or shoes on inside of a house though?

    I saw "baguettes" in the title and thought "catloaf?"

    No, it's actual bread! 😂

    Nothing difficult, you just mix half a kilo of flour a little bit of yeast, salt then pour some water which is not cold and then you leave the dough to rest and grow for about three to four hours, depends on the temperature, after that you make the dough into baguettes shapes, let it rest for fifteen minutes and then you put it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes in 200 C, its better to put some water somewhere inside the oven because the steam makes them more crispy

    Eh, I think you're oversimplifying a bit there. I've made baguettes before with mixed success. It's more than just eyeballing ingredients and guessing on time. There are ways to fold the dough to improve the texture and other techniques to improve the outcome. It's definitely worth doing, though.
