I love to bake, and bread has always been a fascination for me because it’s more chemistry than just cooking. So I decided to try this recipe because it was no knead and that’s usually where I struggle is the kneading process. Made it today just took it out of the oven and I can’t wait for my husband to come home and try this! It is absolutely delicious! Definitely so easy to make because I threw everything together last night and then this afternoon I was able to start the process. I got myself French bread pans a while back so now I actually have a recipe to utilize them on. I need to work on the rolling and the shaping but that didn’t affect the taste at all. The crust is amazing and the chew is perfection! Will definitely be making this again.

Hi Gemma, I have a suggestion over here, maybe can do a comparison by using French Bread Flour vs Japanese Bread Flour. The difference of the texture, the water absorption rate, the durability of the baked bread, etc.

Hi Gemma, your presentation is so motivating, and you make this look so easy. I will start my attempt at your baguette tonight!! I’m still learning bread, and I’m trying to understand what effects are produced by our various interactions…I have two questions for you: 1) Since I don’t mind kneading, would it worsen my dough if I did some stretch and folds before or after the long rest? 2) Is there a particular method you would recommend in order to enhance the ”bread flavour” of our bakes? Or is flavour simply dependant on the flour? Thanks for your efforts!

[@merrymuriel]

In France we can’t get strong flour so we just use normal flour for our baguettes. It is a long process to make two baguettes but certainly worth it ! Thanks Gemma !

the right flour is so important to get an authentic baguette. i remember in the 80's a french baker moved to nz and started up business. he wanted to provide my hotel with french goods and try as hard as he could the baguettes were terrible (growing up in england we spent a lot of time in france). in the end he realised it was the southern hemisphere flour and imported his flour direct from france. baguettes were then correct.

Gemma what it the different between baguettes and what we call French sticks in Australia ? I love the crunchy outside and crispy inside. It brings memories of my childhood. Driving half an hour from the farm to the only bakery (next one was a 4hr drive), and buying a freshly baked warm French stick. Still warm 2.5cm thick slices, with butter, was our Sunday brunch. It brings so many childhood memories back.

Hi, thanks for your detailed explanation in every process, thumbs up! What’s the room temperature? The reason I’m asking is that I’m living in Asia. So I need to keep inside conditioned room for fermenting? Many thanks

I usually let it sit on the counter at room temperature; around 68°F/20°C - 74°F/23°C from 12 to 18 hours. If it's too warm and humid where you are, you can place it in the fridge after a few hours, so it can continue the fermentation process at a slower pace. Hope this helps.

Hello, I love gemma's no knead recipes but I'm french and "bread flour" doesn't ring any bells, I've read on the internet that it's the equivalent of a type 55 flour in France... other frenchies here to confirm ? (or non frenchy by the way, just familiar with the french sorting of flours) Thanks !

[@GemmaStafford]

It’s a strong flour. Bread flour has 12%-14% protein, more than 8%-11% in all-purpose flour (plain flour). Hope this helps.

[@rickie12]

[@henrytheturnip]

Gemma, after final shaping, can I put them in the fridge overnight and then bake them the next morning?

[@GemmaStafford]

You can refrigerate the dough after 2 hours of proofing at room temperature during fermentation to slow down the process and allow for a longer flavor development. Or after 12-18 hours of proofing at room temperature, you can choose to put your dough in the fridge and use within 2 days. If the dough has been chilled, the process of shaping them ‘wakes’ it up, which will help it rise when you proof it a second time, just before popping it into the oven.

[@lefthandedcat4080]

Could the be made with Einkhorn flour? Thanks.

[@GemmaStafford]

I don’t recommend it for this recipe as this needs a strong flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content.

[@johnp1992]

I managed to bake a couple of these loaves today... and they were some of the best tasting yeasted loaves I have ever mad - but mine came out a little too fat to qualify as a baguette :) I have a question about my crust - it was not super crunchy - despite I added 5 minuytes of Bake at 450 ... Do you have any suggestions to amplify the crust? BTW, I couldn't get all the water in... I was able to get about 330g of the 360g. At the 12 hour mark I added some folds becasue my dough was so pillowy. (Flour used: 375 g of strong Canadian Bread flour (13% Protien) + 50 g of 5-Stagioni Manitoba (14.5% Protien)) I couldnt shape a proper baguette as dough was so - so soft, but I got them baked and they sprung like wild. The flavour was superb - I think the 16 hour warm bulk was amazing. Im going to try again - this time with even less water.

[@GemmaStafford]

For a crustier crust, you can add steam in the oven, by placing a pan with some water in it. Hope the next batch will be even better.

[@marymerletto5]

Can you use regular flour? Thanks

[@GemmaStafford]

Technically, you can. It will not have the same texture and probably flavor, but it can still be a good result.

[@hailah62]

If we use fan assisted oven, should the temperature be lower?

[@GemmaStafford]

Hi Hialah. Yes, you will need to. Lower the baking temperature by -30F / -15C and bake at the same time as given in the recipe. Hope this helps.

[@Esteramisu57]

Could you add just a little wheat flour to the bread flour for flavor?

[@GemmaStafford]

Technically, you can do that. Remove a small amount of bread flour and replace it with whole wheat flour in the same amount. You may need to adjust the amount of liquids as flours do not absorb liquids the same way. Gradually add the liquids when combining wet and dry ingredients. Stop when the dough comes together and reaches the same consistency as shown in the video.

[@pjstar2009]

Would you please state your room temperature? Mine's about 66-68F in the winter and about 80F in the summer. Thanks😊

[@lanahrw]

Hi Gemma, is it OK to let the dough sit for longer than 18 hours.

[@GemmaStafford]

Yes, You can refrigerate the dough after 2 hours of proofing at room temperature during fermentation to slow down the process and allow for a longer flavor development. Or after 12-18 hours of proofing at room temperature, you can choose to put your dough in the fridge and use within 2 days.

[@lanahrw]

@@GemmaStafford thank you, I value your reply. I've baked these twice with results getting better ever time. The proofing is adjustable due to the climate atm, loads of humidity and subtle rain here in co.Kildare😆 I'm getting more confident slashing the baguettes once placed onto a hot🔥 oven tray. Also I spray the oven just before adding the baguettes. Have read leaving a hot tray in the bottom of the oven and adding hot water for the steam as the baguettes go into the oven helps them rise.
