Stephanie, I really appreciated the comment about taking the time to 'learn the craft'. My mother was a fabulous baker (not a great cook) and she never, ever took shortcuts. She bought the best ingredients she could afford as a single mother. The tastes and fragrances in our kitchen on Sunday (her baking day) were out of this world! Baking is a professional trade for a reason. Baking French Baguettes is something I will now try - I'll let you know how it goes. You are an inspiration!

Stephanie. I used this recipe for pizza dough today, but i tweeked it a little. I used a whole t. of yeast and 2 t. of the malt powder. I also added 1/4 c. olive oil and 2 T of my sourdough starter made from muscadine grapes from the field next door. The gluten was strong enough to be stretched really thin w/o breaking, and turned out very crisp while holding it's shape. I do prebake it for a few minutes until it starts to brown a bit, then transfer to a rack to cool. Then it's ready to top and bake a second time at 350 degrees, then drizzled with some good olive oil or whatever else. It made four pizza dough rounds at around 8 oz. each. They averaged about ten to twleve inches for me. Cheers. I'm a retired baker btw. It's the closest thing I can get to the thin and crispy pizzas I had in Toscana, Italy.

I was born in France of military parents in 1954. I teethed on French Baguette and since I was 4 bake in the US, I have craved true baguettes. I have tried every recipe in the book, including Julia Childs, and nothing turned out right. You have just made an old lady very happy! I made your bread today for our New Years gathering and it was a hit! It was perfect. I wish I could show you photos of it. I had already ordered French Flour, but it had not arrived (T65) so I used to suggested portions. It was perfect! I did not have the malt, as it did not arrive in time either, so I used a tsp of sugar. I was happy I could not taste the sugar. I plan on practicing your method every week because I have my nieces French boyfriend arriving in 6 months. I want to surprise him with this recipe. Thank you again!

Oh, I did do two things differently: I mixed the dough the night before and did the shaping and proofing in the morning. Also, I used a baguette tin instead of a stone. After shaping the baguette, I moved it right to the tin. I think that made things easier. Probably the result wasn't as good as yours, but they were still great!

Let me give you my full review on this amazing recipe: 1- it looks way harder than it really is , it's actually so easy and fun to make. 2- i've tried many baguette recipes I got on youtube, basically most have the same ingredients as this recipe, but due to the technique I guess, this recipe tastes tons better than the others. 3- I dont have a pizza stove so I used a baguette tray instead, I used it before and the baguettes came out flat on the top even tho the tray gave them a round bottom shape, in this recipe with this folding they came out perfectly round, you cant go wrong with them 4- i've never tasted bread that delicious before, it had a very crunchy exterior (I didnt wait for the bread to cool down before cutting it so the flakes were all around while cutting) and an incredibly soft interior. I'm going to do this recipe again tomorrow. Highly recommend it, bread can't get anymore delicious.

Excellent tutorial. I can confirm this is an authentic French method. My best friend's father was a baker in Paris. What I really appreciate is that you mention everything in metric which cannot be taken for granted in US-based recipes. A little suggestion that I picked up from a bakery in the south of France. Let the dough proof in the fridge for 24 hours and then the folded and shaped baguettes in the cloth for another 24 hours at a low temperature. This is what gives it the typical Southern flavour and what the French call "une mie grasse", literally a "fat inside of the bread". I couldn't find an English word for "mie". It's amazingly chevy, light and moist and the alvéoles (air bags?) are almost translucent. It's a slow fermentation kind of comparable to slow cooking at a low temperature to get the maximum of flavour and texture.

This is the best French baguette recipe ever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing all the detailed techniques. These are the best loaves I have ever made, and I have tried many (Charles Van Over’s, Bread Bible’s, Julia Child’s, etc.) and they were good, if not perfect, but these loaves were the best tasting and prettiest by far. Admittedly, my slashing technique definitely needs work (I used a lame but felt timid and did not go deep enough-but I know now these loaves won’t collapse when I slash because you taught me how to shape them properly!). I did not have SAF gold (only the Red) and I did not have diastatic malt powder, so I used 2 teaspoons of honey instead, plus I missed the 60 grams of AP flour-but the loaves were still truly wonderful. I’ve ordered the SAF gold and malt powder, so I can only imagine how fabulous the next batch will be. Stephanie, your detailed instructions made this so easy! Thank you, thank you! (And I love you for pushing the scale. I have used one for years, and will not use a recipe that has only volume measurements. Not only is it more precise, who wants to wash all those measuring cups and spoons when you can just weigh in the bowl?).

As a French living in the US for the past, hum, 15 years or so, I've tried several baguette recipes without the expected results, on the other hand my ciabatta's are wonderful, so I lost interest in the baguette; until I found your video. Your recipe does not provide info to make a standard baguette, but certainly for some of the best baguettes you can find in France. One of the secrets, I think, lies in the hot baking stone. I waited 1.5 hours at 475F, and I think that 500F may improve things a bit (bottom was white-golden-ish). Ice cubes may be better than hot water (my old method) to create the steam. I did not have diastatic malt powder, so I used brown sugar instead. Also, I only have one pizza stone. Results are still unbelievable. I wish I could post a picture, the crumb is so wide open and irregular, so rare to find in breads nowadays. Of course, the taste matches the looks. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. This gives me the base for more complex breads with poolish, white whole wheat, long retardation, etc. To bakers reading this: do not feel intimidated by this recipe, it is easier than it looks. To check temperature around 75F, a $10 candy thermometer which you stick in the dough will do. What you absolutely need is a pizza stone and a cast iron pan. If you don't have a razor blade to score the dough, sharpen a knife, and wet the blade with water between each cut, a serrated knife -also with a wet blade- can work too, just a bit trickier. As with everything involving fine cooking, pick the finest ingredients. Really, I doubt the $1 per 5 lb bread flour is suitable here.
