- Transfer dough to a bowl and cover with cling film or a tea towel and allow to rise overnight.
- The next morning, gently use your spatula to pry the dough away from the edge of the bowl.
- Transfer dough to a very lightly floured bench and roll into a log shape.
- With a spatula or dough cutter, cut the log into quarters. Optional: if you have a larger oven you can make 2 longer baguettes by cutting the log in half. Alternatively, you can put your longer baguettes diagonally on baking trays.
- With minimal handling, roll each portion of dough into a sausage and place onto the lined baking tray.
- Cover the baguettes with a clean dry tea towel and leave for 1-1.5 hours.
- Preheat the oven to it’s highest heat (250-260C) and put a heatproof bowl of water into the oven.
- Before transferring the bread to the oven, either slash the tops of the baguettes with a sharp blade or snip them with a pair of kitchen shears, and then press the tip down back into the bread so it doesn’t stick up.
- Spray the bread with water and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes, turning the tray around and respraying every 5 minutes.
- Allow your baguettes to cool completely before cutting.
