Easy Home Baked Garlic Baguette

After many failed attempts, finally made this Garlic Baguette, a chewy interior riddled with holes, and a crisp, deep-gold crust.

Ingredients

1. 1 cup Water

2. 2½ cup Bread Flour

3. 1 Tbsp Sugar

4. 1 tsp Salt

5. 1½ Yeast

6. 1 Tbsp Garlic Confit

Method

1. Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl. Gently knead everything together till a soft and elastic dough is formed. Mix Garlic Confit.

2. Leave it to rest until doubled in size. (gently press finger into dought. If an indentation remains, the dough has risen enough).

3. Punch dough down, roll on a floured surface into 10-inch rope, slightly tapered at ends. Place it on a lined baking sheet.

4. Preheat oven to 230°C (450F) untilbrowned on bottom and sounds hollow (approx. 20 minutes).
