Simple Baguette

This is the baguette recipe that I have been following for the past few months.

475g strong white flour
375ml water
8g salt
1g yeast

Add the dry ingredients to a bowl followed by the water. Mix until the dough just starts to come together. Ideally it shouldn't be sticking to the sides too much.

Cover and leave the dough for 4 hours or preferably overnight.

Heat your oven to 220 °C. Shape the dough into two equally sized baguettes and bake until golden brown. Leave to cool slightly before eating.
