Sourdough Baguettes

Sourdough Baguettes

Crisp and light, with a crackly brown crust, these baguettes are super-easy to make

  • 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 cups sourdough starter, about the consistency of thick pancake batter; fed, or unfed*
  • 4 1/2 to 5 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
  • 1 egg yolk lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for glaze; optional
  • Pizza seasoning, sesame seeds, artisan bread topping, or anything else you think might be good; all optional
  • If you feed your sourdough before using, the loaves will rise better; but if you're in a hurry, unfed sourdough will simply lend its flavor, while the yeast in the recipe takes care of the rise.
