Baguette

I got my love of baking bread from my dad, who taught me how to properly knead dough, and I make these simple baguettes more than any other loaf. These days, I tend to leave the kneading up to my stand mixer, but I still get my hands in on the action by shaping the baguettes. Getting the right surface tension and slashes in the dough can take a while to master, so don’t fret if your loaf cracks a little. You’ll be enjoying it so much you won’t notice.
