RECIPES:
GOOD:
▪225g (1c) warm water (90F/32C)
▪8g (2t) instant yeast
▪9g (2t) salt
▪350g (2 1/2c) bread flour
Combine water, yeast, salt and flour. Stir to combine then switch to a soaking wet hand and squeeze to continue mixing until dough is no longer shaggy. Dust with flour and knead for 2 minutes to build strength. It’s ready when you can tug a piece of the dough without it ripping.
Cut into 2 equal pieces, flatten each into an oval then roll and shape and roll as shown @1:20. Place both shaped doughs onto the bottom of a parchment lined baking sheet, cover with a foil pan (approx 17”x12”x4” / 43cm x 32cm x10cm) and let rise at room temp for 40-60min.
Spray baguettes with water, cover with foil pan again and bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 465F/240C oven, removing the lid after 14min.
BETTER:
DOUGH
▪225g (1c) water (90F/32C)
▪350g (2 1/2c) bread flour
▪9g (2t) salt
YEAST MIXTURE
▪30g (2T) water (90F/32C)
▪8g (2t) instant yeast
Combine 225g water & flour with a spoon then switch to a soaking wet hand to continue mixing until the dough is a solid clod. Sprinkle the salt on top of the dough while you mix your yeast. Cover & allow to sit at room temperature for 20 min.
Stir together yeast with 30g water. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes then add this yeast mixture to the salted dough & squeeze with a wet hand to combine. Cover with lid. Let sit for 30 mins.
Perform strength building fold as shown @5:40. Cover & ferment for 30 more mins. Perform a 2nd strength building fold. Cover once more & ferment at room temp for 1 hour.
Transfer to floured work surface. Flatten with your hands & cut into 2 even pieces. Preshape each piece as shown in video @6:39. Cover the shaped dough balls & rest at room temp for 15 mins.
Shape baguettes as shown @7:05.
Place both shaped doughs onto the bottom of a parchment lined baking sheet (or any flat surface), cover with a foil pan (approx 16”x12”x3” / 406mmx 318mm x 82mm) and let rise at room temp for 45-70min.

BEST
POOLISH
▪150g (2/3c) room temperature water
▪Pinch of instant yeast
▪150g (1c) bread flour
Stir together water, yeast, & flour. Cover and ferment at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
DOUGH
▪Ripe poolish (recipe above)
▪240g (1c) water (90F/32C)
▪3g (3/4t) instant yeast
▪400g (2 3/4c) bread flour
▪11g (2 1/4t) salt
10g (2.5t) diastatic malt powder
Add poolish, water, yeast, flour, salt, and malt powder to a stand mixer with a bread hook and mix on low for 3 minutes. Once the dough is combined, increase speed to high (speed 4 on my kitchenaid) and mix for another 6 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, cover, and ferment at room temperature for 30 minutes. Perform a strength building fold. Cover, rest for 30 minutes. Do another strength building fold. Cover, rest for a final 60 minutes.
Transfer dough to a floured surface & divide into 4 equal pieces (about 230g each). Preshape each piece as shown @11:15. Cover with a towel & rest for 15 minutes.
Shape as shown @7:05 (process is the same as “better” baguette shaping).
Proof in a floured couche, cover, & proof shaped loaves for 45-60 minutes. Score with a bread lame and bake in a preheated, semolina dusted challenger bread pan. Bake 465F/240C covered for 12 mins. Remove lid & bake for 12-15 more mins until crusty & golden brown.

For those who don’t have the challenger bread pan, or any Dutch oven, but still have a baking steel and a cast iron skillet and are serious about making good bread (Prepare for a long read lol) I’ve found the best way to recreate the steam in my oven is 2 fold. For prep, place one rack with a baking steel in the middle and the other rack on the bottom with a cast iron skillet (preferably with high walls). Preheat the oven to maximum temp for an hour before loading baguettes with cast iron in oven (you want it as hot as possible). First, get an old pan (preferably something hefty) and roll at least two but preferably more regular dish towels. Boil a pot of water (2-6 cups depending on how big your vessel is) and pour it over the towels and into the pan. The towels don’t need to be completely submerged but you just need to make sure all of the towels are soaked from the boiling water. Then load this into the oven on the bottom rack while your steel is in the middle rack. Put into the oven 15-20 minutes before loading the baguettes. This part provides a slower, constant steam throughout the bake and “humidifies” the oven right before loading. The second part, bring more water to a boil (anywhere from 2-4 cups) right after you load part 1 into the oven. This water will be poured directly into the cast iron pan right after loading the baguettes. For baking First thing is to load the baguettes onto the steel. Be careful when you open the oven because there will be steam from part 1 that can burn you. Once the baguettes are on the steel, this is when you slide out the cast iron pan that’s been preheating on the bottom rack of your oven and pour the second pot of boiling water directly into the cast iron pan. To protect the oven door glass, you need to put a kitchen towel or some sort of barrier over the glass before your pour the boiling water. It’s never happened to me before but I’ve heard stories or peoples oven glass shattering from boiling water splashing onto it. As soon as you pour the boiling water into the cast iron, you want to close the oven as fast as possible to “trap” as much steam as you can. All home ovens are made to naturally vent steam so this steam will be escaping from the steam vent throughout the bake. Bake the baguettes at 500 (your oven may not be able to actually reach that temperature because of the added steam but that’s ok) for the first 10/15 minutes (depending on if you prefer crispy or crunchy crusts) and bake without steam at 450 for 5-10 minutes until it’s a deep reddish, golden brown. Now when you’re ready to take out both steaming vessels, be extremely careful opening up the oven. It will be extremely hot steam that can burn you easily. My preferred method is to carefully open the oven while stepping backwards at the same time and just waiting. It takes around 3 seconds for the steam to dissipate and then it’s safe to take out the steaming vessels. Make sure you have good oven mitts/gloves because the steaming vessels will be extremely hot. Just place them on the stove to cool down. WARNING When you pour the boiling water into the preheated cast iron, it will generate A LOT of steam and make quite a bit of noise. This is completely normal. Making sure you’re wearing long sleeves and gloves because the water will splash out of the pan no matter how careful you are. The first time you do this, your instincts will think you’re doing something wrong and you’ll think the cast iron might break but I promise it will not. Really hoping this helps out at least one person and wasn’t just a waste out time lmao…happy baking y’all

I tried the "best" version of this bread (twice), and it was indeed very good. Though I didn't have a stand mixer so I just had to knead by hand; I also didn't have anything resembling a dutch oven so I just sprayed the dough with water and threw some ice cubes in the oven and the bread came out very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My first attempt I didn't have bread flour, just all-purpose, nor did I have diastatic malt powder, so I subbed molasses... my second attempt I managed to find bread flour and just left out the malt powder/molasses and it was so much better. Like, it was legit as good as the closest bakery (just smaller since I halved the recipe)... so, anyway, thanks!

I did my first ever baguettes a few months ago... totally winged the dough... basically just check about which ratio of salt I should have... and also started it by off using a Yudane... then added a lot of water... I think I ended up at like 70% or something like that, it was very wet... folded a few times in room temp, then shoved it into the fridge overnight. Next morning I pulled it out and let it warm up a bit, divided it up, very slight preform, a small rise, then did a final shaping and put it on a cloth for a final rise. Then into oven on a steel, came out some of the best baguettes I ever ate, and more then the best bread I think I ever made. To be fair though, I watched like 4 or 5 different masterclass and baguette videos how to do them at home before I even tried. And what it comes down to seem to be the shaping of the dough before the final rise, that is how you roll it up or fold it up and then shape the ends. Then the major thing... with a normal oven with a steel, I sprayed them quite heavily before they went into the oven. I also had a pan in the bottom of the oven that I poured boiling water into when I shoved in the baguettes. The spring from the heat from the steel, and the steam in the oven made the crust come out amazingly crispy but also very light, and after a full night of cold rising, the crumb was gorgeous as well.

I've never use DMP before and I just got some Anthony's yesterday for pizza dough. So I'm happy to see you got the same for your baguettes and it worked good. So yes, I'll be trying "the best" recipe. I don't have the challenger, but I do have a large cast iron pot with a lid I can flip upside down and do 1 baguette at a time.

Made the "Best" version today. I don't have a big lid on pan so I just used a big cast iron baking tray and fashioned a aluminium foil lid (flipped it upside down to shape the foil) then cooked two baguettes at a time with steam. Unreal outcome. My oven is garbage so it took 40 minutes total for each batch to get a nice dark crust but it was well worth pushing on. Fantastic bread. Thank you Bri from Australia!

Love the bourguignon tie in (also a phenomenal recipe) at the end, but I really, really hope the dancing doesn't go away. 🙏

I did the third version yesterday using a BBC Good Food recipe . I use fresh yeast, it makes a difference

I am new to following Brian and love his recipes and sense of humor. I tried the best method but for the poolish, I used 100g sourdough starter, 100g water, and 100g flour. I didn't have the fancy Challenger bread pan, so instead baked on top of a pizza stone almost like the better method, but had a Perforated Baguette pan (from Amazon). Overall amazing results, the only issue I had is I had to increase temp to 480 to brown it at the end. Next time, I want to try with the Malt powder (could not find that at my local store).

You make this look easy so I’m going for “best”! I can’t have gluten, but I’m making this for the Hubster and I know he’s going to LOVE IT!

I tried this recipe today (and yesterday). The baguettes turned out very well, although hardly professional. I tried the type with the poolish. The biggest issue is that we only have a wood cookstove. It takes very careful monitoring to maintain a constant temperature. Even though I couldn't follow all of the instructions to the letter, it still turned out moderately well. Because my wife is also gluten free, I will have baguettes for a good amount of time.

Watching this video and the second baguette recipe/steps is like an old friend at this point (insert Leo pointing at himself on TV meme). "I know this old gem!" :D I've made those baguettes sooooo many times thanks to your original baguette video! Really looking forward to stepping it up a notch with the final version!

Thank you for pointing out the fact of motion being the catalyst for kneading rather than what movements they are taking in general. I've always been asking how to knead "properly" yet no one has bothered to explain that and my eyesight isn't the best to simply "just watch them so I'll get it."

Ok so a few comments after making the Better version. Results were good and tasty, and looked like a crusty bread in spite it being my first time doing it. It’s about 20 degrees C in my apartment at the moment so the first few proofs were a bit slower, and the dough was wetter than it looked on the video. I learnt that my fancy Japanese oven has a Proving mode by the time I got to the first long proof so that helped. The oven stone is critical for getting a good crust in the bottom, mine was cooked and brown but without the strength of the upper crust (like a roll more than a baguette), not a disaster. I ended up baking it a bit too long and the color was darker than shown here but still worked. Keep an eye on your oven! All in all I’m happy with it for my first try but it’s definitely not quite at the bakery level baguette level. Lots to explore.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I tried a similar recipe (for best) that also included a 24 hour cold ferment after final shaping. The bake temp on the other recipe was far too low and the end result was rather disappointing. Amazing what a temp change can do!! Side note: been experimenting with "Honey Powder" as a sub for sugar and/or malt with my bread ... If you haven't yet -- give it a try -- I know you would appreciate the flavor hints. Thanks again!!
