Ingredients

  • 500 g of force flour.
  • 300 g of water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh yeast

Instructions

  • Sift the flour. We do this with the help of a strainer.
  • Once screened, mix it with 240 ml of water and salt. Knead well until you get a homogeneous mixture with the dough to make a ball.
  • Place the mixture in a bowl and cover it with a cloth. Let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Add the fresh yeast to the remaining 60 ml of water and the sugar in a glass or bowl and let stand for 15 minutes in a warm place. After the resting time, add the yeast mixture with the water to the dough and knead again. Let stand covered with a cloth in a dry and warm place for about 2 hours.
  • After this time, divide the meat into two equal balls, add a little flour on a flat surface, knead the dough with a rolling pin, flattening it, and preventing air bubbles from forming.
  • Stretch to achieve a rectangular size of 25 long x 20 cm wide.
  • Spiral up the longest part, squeezing the end a little to seal the roll, thus forming the bar. Do the same with the other half of the dough.
  • Make cuts on the top of the baguette and let stand again for about 25 minutes in a dry place.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 ° C, line a tray with vegetable paper, place the baguettes on the paper and bake about 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy your meal!

    Notes

    If you wish, before introducing the baked bread you can beat an egg with a tablespoon of water and spread the bread. This will prevent it from drying out too much.
