Ingredients

• 190 g Wheat flour
• 150 g Water
• 8 g Fresh baker's yeast

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients

   Pour the flour into a large bowl. Make a well and add the yeast on one side and the salt on the other to avoid direct contact.

2. Incorporate the water

   Gradually add the water while stirring with a spatula. The dough should be sticky and homogeneous.

3. Let the dough rest

   Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1.5 hours.

4. Shape and bake

   Preheat the oven to 230°C. On a floured baking sheet, place the dough and shape it into a baguette. Bake for 20 minutes, watching the baking process.

Chef's tips

• Use lukewarm water to activate the yeast more quickly.
• For an even crispier crust, spray a little water on the dough before baking.
• Let the dough rest longer for a more developed flavor.

Storage

Keeps for 2 days at room temperature in a paper bag to preserve crispiness.
