I agree with the previous comment… the amount of flour is TOTALLY not correct!!!! It might be the conversion to Grams that isn’t correct here. Just be aware and DO NOT add all the flour that you mill. I used the cups to add the flour and it worked ok, but it would have been ruined if I had used all the flour!

I like this better than the normal bread recipe I make. I might just shape this into full size loaves and bake next time!

I tried to make this using the metric measurement of 800 g for flour. After the dough was extremely hard and dry, I looked up the conversion of 800 g to cups. It’s nearly 6.5 cups of flour—almost an entire cup more than called for.

There is a problem with the metric conversion on the recipe card.

In reply to Brice. Bish, this has 1.5 tbsp sugar between 3 loaves. This is not why Americans are fat. Stfu and eat the damn bread.

I just made this bread and love how it came together. I added a bit of sourdough starter to the batch and carefully adjusted for added liquid. I have leftovers I’d like to use for sandwiches tomorrow but there is no mention if these keep well. Thanks

I made these for the first time today and I don’t know what I did wrong. They were almost growing off the sides of the baguette pan, they baked quite flat and never got brown even though I sprayed them with water. Any help before I attempt the recipe again would be greatly appreciated.

It’s was so hard for me to find successful recipes with my fresh ground wheat until I found your site. Things are working out brilliantly. This recipe worked great and was so tasty. I make fresh bread and it makes 2 good sized loaves. Currently I only have hard and soft red wheat. I used 100% hard red and it came out lovely. Thanks for your testing and sharing.

This is a great recipe! Very successful for me! Rather than use a tea towel, I used a large piece of parchment and rolled up some pieces of aluminum foil to slip between the dough pieces underneath the parchment and then just removed the foil for baking to allow air flow. Worked really well!

This is not french baguette, there is an actual law in France about the baguette recipe. Baguette should not have sugar, nor honey nor oil. Baguette are flour, yeast our sourdough starter, salt and water. That’s why European are not overweight they eat healthy bread everyday not sugar sweet bread.
