{Une Baguette}

Lovin' my new baguette pan.
You don't have one?
Get one, stat.
Yes. It makes 3 loaves at a time.
No. I will not provide an explanation for the disappearance of the other two loaves.
Don't judge me.

Ok, I had a little help eating them.
Which is why I need to make more.

Recipe for instant friendsHere we go:
6c flour
1TBS yeast
1 TBS salt
2 1/2 c water (approx.)

Dissolve yeast in water.
Mix flour and salt, add yeast/water and mix with dough hook.
Cover with towel and let rise for an hour.
divide dough into thirds.
Roll each third into a rectangle (maybe 6x10 inches?)
Roll up the rectangle into a long tube (like you would for cinnamon rolls)

pinch ends off and tuck them under
Slam bread dough on the counter once or twice if you want it particularly dense
cut diagonal slits in the top
brush with olive oil
let rise 20 minutes+

preheat oven to 450* with a cake pan (that has 1 inch of water in it) on the bottom rack . Keep oven at 450* temp with the water in it for 10-15 minutes

bake baguettes at 450* for 20 minutes (careful when you open the oven, it will steam your face off)

after the 20 minutes, turn the heat down to 350* and let bake another 10-15 minutes.

Serve with homemade butter.

It's crunchy.
It's yummy.
It won't last long in your house.
