Description
Soft on the inside and crusty on the outside, these mini baguettes are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then stir in the yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Bring it together: Mix until the dough starts to form. Then, on a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm environment. In about 60 minutes, the dough should double in size.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) to prepare for baking those lovely baguettes.
- Shape the dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently, divide it into smaller portions, and shape each into a mini baguette.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the shaped baguettes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Second rise: Allow the baguettes to rise for another 30 minutes while you eagerly await that delicious aroma.
- Score the tops: Before you pop them into the oven, make a few diagonal slashes on top of each baguette with a sharp knife to allow for steam escape.
- Bake: Place your tray in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Cool and enjoy: Let them cool slightly before slicing into them!
