Baguettes

Made some stew today and also made some baguettes to go with it. It goes down extremely well with the portions size of this recipe for four person. Especially when it just came out of the oven and straingt onto the dinner table! Extra satisfying when looking at the faces of my contented customers.







Ingredients

2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 egg yolk
1 cup water

Put all ingredients into the bread machine. Set machine into dough mode and let it finish its cycle.

Remove from machine and divide dough into 8 portions. Roll it out into a long oblong shape. Place on baking tray and leave to double in size in warm places.

Use scissors, snip diagonally twice on the top of each baguette. Egg washes the baguettes and bake in a preheated 375 c oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove and cool a little before serving.
