Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups lukewarm water -- (24 oz)
8 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- King Arthur
1 tablespoon salt -- (3/4 oz), (regular table salt, not kosher)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
Place the water in a 6-quart dough-rising bucket or other large
container. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt and
yeast until blended.
Add about half the dry ingredients to the water and stir to combine.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until there are no dry
spots. The texture of the dough should be very soft.
Use your wet hands to fold the dough over several times, right in the
container. Cover the container, and let the dough rest at room
temperature for 2 hours. Then refrigerate overnight, or for up to 7 days.
To bake bread: Grease your hands, and scoop out a scant 1 pound of
dough (about 1/4 of the batch, approx. 14 1/2 oz). Shape the dough
into a rough, slightly flattened oval, cover with greased plastic
wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise, and seal the edges with the heel
of your hand. Flatten slightly, fold lengthwise, and seal again.
With the seam side down, cup your fingers and gently roll the dough
into a 15" log. Place the log seam-side down onto a lightly greased
or parchment-lined baking sheet, or into the well of a lightly
greased baguette pan.
Cover and let rise till the baguette is very puffy, about 1 1/2
hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 450F.
Slash the baguette three or four times on the diagonal. Spritz
heavily with warm water, and bake until a very deep golden brown, 25
to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
Yield: 1 large baguette. Total batch of dough yields 4 baguettes.
