                         Sponge
   1       cupUnbleached  All-Purpose Flour -- or Organic 
French-Style Flour (120g)
      1/4           cup  rye flour -- (28g) (white, medium, or 
pumpernickel) or 100% White Whole Wheat Flour
   1 1/4           cups  water -- (283g)
      1/4      teaspoon  instant yeast
                         Dough
                         all of the sponge
   2       cupsUnbleached  All-Purpose Flour -- or Organic 
French-Style Flour (241g)
   1 1/4      teaspoons  salt
      1/2      teaspoon  instant yeast
   1                cup  toasted coarsely chopped hazelnuts -- (142g)
      3/4           cup  golden raisins -- (128g)
   1         tablespoon  fennel seeds -- lightly toasted, optional

These baguettes feature a blend of fruit, nuts, and the distinctive 
licorice taste of fennel. Leave out the fennel if you like, but it 
really does lend a mild but interesting flavor to these loaves.

BAKE: 20 to 24 mins

SERVING SIZE: 2 slices, 48g

To make the sponge: Mix together, cover, and set aside to rest for 12 
to 24 hours at room temperature; the longer you let it sit, the more 
of a tang your bread will have.

Mix and knead together the sponge, flour, salt, and yeast for 8 to 10 
minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Add the hazelnuts, raisins and fennel seeds, kneading until 
everything is evenly incorporated.

Place in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 
hours, until nearly doubled in bulk.

Gently deflate the dough, and divide it in half.

Form it into logs about 10" to 12" long, and place them on baking 
sheets (or in a couche). Cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

If baking on a stone: Preheat the oven and stone for 30 minutes at 475F.

Just before placing the loaves in the oven, cut three or four 
diagonal slices down the center of each, and spritz with water.

Place the loaves on the stone, then reduce the oven heat to 375F. 
Bake the baguettes for 20 to 24 minutes, until they're medium brown.

If baking on sheet pans: Preheat the oven to 450F.

Prepare the baguettes for the oven as directed above, and bake for 10 minutes.

Reduce the oven heat to 375F and continue baking for an additional 10 
to 12 minutes.

Store bread, well-wrapped, for 2 days at room temperature. Freeze for 
up to a month.

Tips: To bake baguettes in our Emile Henry baguette baker, divide the 
dough into three pieces after its first rise. Shape each piece into a 
13" log. Place the logs into the lightly greased wells of the baker, 
cover with the lid, and let the baguettes rise until very puffy, 
about 60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450F. Just before baking, 
remove the lid of the baker, slash the tops of the baguettes several 
times, and spritz with water. Return the lid to the baker. Bake the 
baguettes for 20 minutes. Remove the lid of the baker, and bake for 
an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until deep golden brown. Remove from 
the oven and turn the baguettes out onto a rack to cool.
