This easy homemade baguette recipe will become a staple in your kitchen. With minimal ingredients and simple instructions, you can enjoy fresh, crusty baguettes any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360g) bread flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) warm water (105-115°F)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a baguette. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  9. Slash the tops of the baguettes diagonally with a sharp knife or razor.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.
  11. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven during baking. You can also brush the baguettes with olive oil before baking for extra flavor.
