2: Add remaining flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic

3: Cover with bowl and allow to double (about 1 1/2 hours)

4: Punch down dough and divide in half

5: Shape dough into two baguettes by first rolling dough into a large rectangle, then roll rectangle into loaf (tuck ends underneath loaf), place on baking sheet and allow to double again

6: With a very sharp knife, make a slit down each loaf

7: Bake in a pre-heated 375-degree oven for 30 minutes, Test for doneness by tapping on loaf; it should sound hollow

8: For a crispy crust, periodically spray water, with a hair sprayer, into the oven while loaves are baking

9: DARK RYE: Substitute 3 cups of rye flour for 3 cups of the all purpose flour

10: Add 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds to the batter, along with 1 cup of dark molasses, and 2 tablespoons of powdered cocoa

11: Substitute brown sugar for the plain sugar

12: Reduce water by 1/4 cup

13: RAISIN-CINNAMON: Add 2 slightly beaten eggs to the batter, after proofing

14: Roll each half of dough into a large rectangle

15: Sprinkle each rectangle with a mixture of, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

16: Sprinkle each half with 1/2 cup of raisins

17: Carefully roll each rectangle as you would to shape a baguette

18: tuck the ends underneath the loaf

19: Allow to rise until doubled, do not split tops of loaves

20: After baking brush loaves with melted butter

21: GARLIC-CHEESE: Add 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese to batter

22: Mince 6 cloves of garlic, add to batter

23: After splitting tops of loaves, carefully pour 1 tablespoon of garlic butter on the top of each loaf
