Classic French Baguette - Crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside

Baking a classic French baguette is the absolute highlight in the kitchen for me! When the scent of fresh, warm bread drifts through the apartment, I can hardly contain myself. The combination of a wonderfully crispy, golden crust and a cotton-soft, airy interior is simply unbeatable. Without any processed products, you can conjure up the authentic taste of Paris right on your dining table with this simple method. I only use high-quality basic ingredients that you are guaranteed to have at home. Don't worry if you've never baked bread before: with my step-by-step instructions, this French masterpiece is guaranteed to be a breeze. It's so fulfilling to knead the dough yourself and watch it take shape. Try it out and enjoy your homemade, golden-brown baguette, which is perfect not only for breakfast but also with every dinner. A real must for anyone who loves true craftsmanship!
Ingredients
Preparation

Sift the wheat flour (250 g) into a bowl and mix with the dry yeast (5 g).
Add the lukewarm water (175 ml) and knead everything into a smooth dough.


Knead the salt (5 g) into the dough until it is smooth and pulls away cleanly from the edge of the bowl.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes until it has doubled in volume.


Carefully roll the dough on a floured surface into the typical baguette shape and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and bake the baguette until golden brown and crispy, until it sounds hollow when tapped.
