Directions

0: Combine the yeast and the warm water in a small bowl and stir with a fork to dissolve the yeast

1: Let stand for 3 minutes

2: Combine the flours and salt in a large bowl

3: Pour the cool water and the yeast mixture over the flour, and mix with your fingers to form a shaggy mass

4: Move the dough to a lightly floured work surface and and resilient, but not too smooth at this point

5: Let the dough rest on the work surface for 20 minutes, covered with plastic wrap or a light towel

6: (This rest period is the autolyse

7: ) Knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes

8: Don't overknead it: The dough should be smooth, stretchy, and resilient

9: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn it in the bowl to coat with oil, and cover it with plastic wrap

10: Let rise at room temperature ( 75 to 77 degrees F) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until nearly doubled in volume

11: Gently deflate the dough and fold it over itself in the bowl

12: Reshape it into a ball and cover with plastic wrap

13: Let it rise for 1 1/4 hours or until it has nearly doubled again

14: Gently deflate the dough again, reshape into a round, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour

15: Place the dough on a very lightly floured surface and divide it into 3 equal pieces (about 10 ounces each)

16: Gently stretch one piece into a rectangle, leaving some large bubbles in the dough

17: Fold the top third down and the bottom third up as if you were folding a business letter

18: Now form the loaf into a log by rolling the dough over from left to right and sealing the seam with the heel of your palm

19: Fold the dough over about 1/ 3 of the way each time, seal the length of the loaf, then repeat

20: You want to gently draw the skin tight over the surface of the baguette while leaving some air bubbles in the dough

21: Seal the seam, being careful not to tear the skin of the dough or deflate its airy structure

22: Set aside on the work surface to relax before elongating it, and repeat the shaping process with remaining pieces of dough

23: Now elongate each baguette, starting with the first one you shaped, by rolling it back and forth on the work surface

24: Begin with both hands over the center of the loaf and work them out to the ends until the loaf reaches the desired length

25: (Don't get carried away, or the baguettes won't fit in your oven!) Place the finished loaves on a peel or upside down baking sheet lined with parchment paper spring, resulting in loaves with a light, airy crumb and more flared cuts

26: Thirty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F

27: Place a baking stone in the oven to preheat, and place an empty water pan directly under the stone

28: Use a very sharp razor blade or lame to make 3 to 5 slashes, depending on the length of your loaves, on the top of each baguette

29: The cuts should run from one end of the loaf to the other, rather than across it, and the blade should be held at a 30 degree angle to the loaf so that the cuts pop open in the oven

30: Be careful not to press down too hard, or you may deflate the loaves

31: Using a plant sprayer, mist the loaves

32: Gently slide the loaves onto the preheated stone, or place the baguette mold in the oven

33: Pour 1 cup of very hot water into the water pan and quickly close the oven door

34: After 1 minute, mist the loaves and oven walls 6 to 8 times and close the door

35: After 2 more minutes, spray the loaves and the oven walls again

36: Bake for 12 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer until the loaves are golden brown and crisp

37: Move them to a rack to cool

38: Enjoy your baguettes still slightly warm with some soft, ripe French cheese and a glass of wine

39: Yield: 3 - 14 inch loaves

40: Note: If cake flour is not available, you can use the same amount of unbleached all-purpose flour, but cake flour will give the baguette a lighter texture
