Me!!! bonjour y'all!!! I'm extremely bad at french so that's all I can say... because of the fact that I can't speak french, but I can make some good french food. That's a promise... so I never though I can make a authentic french baguette and it turns out I can't... I don't have a hot enough oven to create the authentic crust. but this is a baguette and this is after all a good bread.
Hold on I'm being told that you have to have at least 525 F oven for a baguette which is the temperature that I used. Because the oven I own only goes up to that temperature and my rack in the oven was obviously too low. So now i have a perfectly moist and delicious but not well browned crust Baguette. If I decided to act stupid in Paris, I will bring this to France. but overall it was a moist, tender, delicious bread.
* Update, I have been told that you can make this bread in the traditional method just add a whole package of yeast and proceed as the kneading method
makes 4 small baguettes or 2 large baguettes
1- In a large bowl combine yeast and room temp water* make sure its room temp
2- add the salt
3- add the flour and stir until combined
4- let it rise for 12-14 hours *no this is not a typo since this is a no knead bread you start out with small amount of yeast to develop the gluten
5- divide the dough into 4 pieces
6- roll the pieces out into a baguette shape
7- take a pan of water into bottom rack of your oven and preheat to 525 F
8- take a scissor and make cuts for the baguette signature look
9-the pan with cornmeal i guess you can use foil, parchment or sil pat
10- bake it for 15 minute but every 5 minutes mist it with water.
11- let it cool in a cooling rack or on a crinkled up foil
12- enjoy!
