Baguettes Masterclass with Patrick Ryan

Classic baguettes!
This recipe takes up to 3 days to make, which might seem a little bit crazy, but we promise you the results are worth it.

________________________________________________
(We've had a few comments about the preferment being a little too dry and not looking like Patrick's in the video. He's double checked his numbers and realised he meant to say that you need 290ml water in the preferment. Apologies for the mistake! But, it's a good excuse to try another batch 😉
So, for the preferment:
450g strong (bread) flour
7g salt
290ml water
5g fresh yeast (or generous pinch dried yeast)
The rest of the recipe stays the same.)
________________________________________________
This dough produces 6-8 baguettes and the dough can be held in a fridge for up to 36 hours. If you do not wish to bake all the dough at once, simply take what you need, shape it and bake it, leaving the remainder of the dough in the fridge which you can return to at any time within that 36-hour time period. This will allow you to bake fresh baguettes day after day.
Or, bake all the baguettes in one go and freeze them. They're easily brought back to their crispy state by thawing at room temperature then dampening with water and heating the oven for about 10 minutes.
Don't forget, we love to see what you've been baking, so please find us on our social channels and show us what you've made!

[@traversethetides6113]

Please update the website- already was passed this step when I saw this comment so now my dough is under hydrated. :(

[@paulortiz8063]

So this is a 50% hydration? ( flour weight to water weight?) And what weight is the raw dough for a standard domestic oven size baguette? Or, how many loaves are we shooting for? What weight for the smaller sized bagettes like you get with in Paris, the ham and cheese, etc., sandwhich from the corner boulangerie. Baking time for these smaller pieces of bread, if you know it. Thanks a load!

[@ImReadyD151]

Ah shit

[@SuperMitchco]

I guess I'll start all over again...

[@Tube-ed8my]

Ohh I started to make it from different types of flour and was thinking why is it too dry. Had to watch comments before :D

[@1019caveman]

@@timbushnell8964 One could also note that the instructions were spot on and if followed you will have amazing bread in the end.

[@PlainSoleCout]

The past 3 days have allowed me to fulfill a lifetime ambition pertaining to being able to bake French bread. As a Frenchman, today has been amazing and very rewarding. At the age of 54, I made my first 6 Artisan breads. Amazing recipe. I am now also on the web searching for some ancient flour types. Thank you Patrick!

[@edithcalaway6154]

I am assuming the water he uses is at room temp. ? Is this how you do it?

[@wandaloskot]

@@edithcalaway6154 He says in the video it really doesn't matter what temperature as long as it is not too hot because it kills the yeast.

[@haruhirooo]

DO YOU GUYS THAW THE DOUGH FIRST BEFORE REMOVING IT FROM THE CONTAINER?

[@j-soon6260]

@@haruhirooo day1: prefermentation day2: working the dough with prefermentated mix. day3: resting, shaping, proofing, cooking. There is no stage when you thaw the dough. Only when you've cooked your baguettes, then you can freeze them.

[@j-soon6260]

@Sizzling Grill not so sour. The fermentation definitely gives it depth but it's not sour tasting like a real sourdough

[@johnboyd7158]

I have used Patrick's sourdough recipe and techniques for a year now; absolutely perfect sourdough. Now this will be next! At 71, I'm glad to be able to feed good bread to friends and family. Many Thanks!

[@froggerny]

I finished making baguettes today for the first time, and they came out beautifully - picture perfect, singing and all. We couldn't keep our hands off of them, and the taste was second to none. Beautiful crunch on the outside, soft on the inside, great flavor - everything you promised in the video. Thanks for making this recipe so accesible to the home baker.

[@felipemaldonado8028]

2:43 "just a minute or so, that's all we knead" loved the pun! Patrick, you're amazing explaining, I have learnt so much watching your videos.

[@atruewild]

Patrick, thank you! Your videos are outstanding. Your easygoing style, and simple explanations are the “Yeast” and “Starter” that has educated me to learn and enjoy bread making.

You surely haven't steered me wrong yet, starting this after I watch it one more time. Then once after tomorrow and once on bake day... Thanks Ryan you're the best

I used this video to bake my first ever bread. You do a great job of giving the topic respect but also not overly complicating it or making it seem daunting.

[@sunying8105]

Thank you Patrick for this incredible tutorial! I'm so happy with how the baggate turned out. I truly heard bread was singing to me when they were out of the oven... My family loves them❤️ They were gone within 1 day... So much caring & love goes into making this recipe, the final results were amazing!!! I'm recommending your tutorial to everyone!!! Ying x

[@GUTOMOFFICIAL]

Good stuff! I like the crispy sounds at the end

[@danainanvinkridakorn5165]

I just made this recipe and the baguettes were fantastic. I love how easy this recipe was, how informational and detailed the instructions were. They taste just like at a bakery.

[@brentborg1]

Thank you Patrick for your kindness generosity in sharing not only the recipe, but your insight and technique. I've made this bread several times now, following along with the video, and as a NEW baker it's my favourite thing to bake. I love the flavour, and the texture, as do all of my friends. I listened as my most recent batch sang to me when I took it out of the oven. Goosebumps!

[@teod.2779]

It looks absolutely AMAZING! I can almost feel the smell!

[@AriesSupertramp]

Wow, someone who actually shows the inside of the things they baked. Also, one of the best baguette recipe videos I've seen here.

Haha he got too much pushback cause he didn't show it before

[@SeabassFishbrains]

Gotta have that crumb shot XD

[@nancyw8341]

I am so disappointed when they don't show a crumb shot too!

[@wandam3803]

All I can say at this point is you rock my friend, thank you! So amazing to see people back in their kitchens again thanks to you. Everyone one of your recipies are explained and detailed to make it easy. Your recipes are the only one's I follow, thanks again from Canada.

[@runescapemania22]

Best one on KZbin, he is obviously a professional. Great instruction video. 👍

The explanation of dry vs fresh yeast made me Subscribe instantly... Thank you for the little tidbits like that. Also, to go back and say there was a mistake and to fix it means you care.... meaning I wish I could subscribe again.

[@mirogster]

From my (limited) experience, indeed the 36h of cold proofing, is the best timeframe - tastewise. Also with sourdough breads! Thank you Patrick & all team from ILoveCookingIreland! Great upload as per usual!!

[@MilkovicsValentina]

Wow! I tried this recipe and I am in love. These baguettes are something else, so crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside, and full of flavour and texture. Thank you very much for this amazing recipe, from now on baguettes will have a weekly appearance on our breakfast table. 🤩🥰🥖

[@debbismirnoff1424]

I love your videos! At 70 with arthritis I need to use the Kitchenaid to knead. Thank you for mentioning a mixer for us older folk!

[@ironlady6897]

Is also a great excuse to get out all those unused bread machines sitting in the back of a cabinet or stuck out of the way in the garage. I used mine to bake bread exactly twice (underwhelming, to say the least), after that strictly as a mixer/kneader for 24 years! Added bonus: bread machine has a lid and cuts down on the dusty mess the mixer makes.

I made a sourdough last week by Patrick's video and got a big success for the first time after 2 time failures! The sourdough had full flavour and softness! He explains clearly about each steps unlikely other baking videos and can understand why each process is important for the bread. Now I am looking for making baguette! Thank you so much for letting me find finally the favourite baking channel and would like to have more series by Patrick 😊

[@robjacobs5199]

Made some the other day but nothing like these. Once again Patrick thank you very much for your masterclass as it should be an inspiration for all home bakers. Cheers from Australia. ps. your sourdough recipes are still the best.

This recipe gives extraordinarily good results. Thank you so much. I missed the comment on 290ml of water for the preferment which is a shame, but still my baguettes are awesome. As a fellow countryperson says in the comments, I am French and have not been able to find a baguette recipe that is half as good as this one in French on youtube...

I would love to see Patrick make bagels. He is so good at shaping dough and that is the hardest part of baking bagels.

[@ensingrey1984]

IMO the hardest thing about bagels is getting them in the oven fast enough- they are perfect just after they are boiled but you have to toss them in seeds. or w/e and do the next one - by the time you finish and they are all ready to go in - they start deflating >:0 the stuggle is real

[@angelal4285]

Hello Mr Ryan, I would like to say that your video was a miracle for me... I made the best "baguettes" of my life, after spending years and years to try a lot of recipes, watching videos, tutos etc. I'm french, my parents have had a Michelin stared restaurant in Monaco where I still live and work, and it was an honour and a big lesson to learn from you. I hope to meet you somewhere in the world, perhaps one day during a trip in Ireland, who knows...Thank you so much !
