Classic Baguettes

Classic Baguettes

Print Recipe
By Prep Time: 35 minutes Cooking Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) water, cool
  • 1/16 teaspoon (a pinch) active dry yeast or instant yeast OR 1 Tablespoon (25g) sourdough starter
  • 1 cup (120g) flour
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (255g) water, lukewarm
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups (420g) flour
  • 2 teaspoons (12g) salt

Instructions

1

To make the starter: Mix together the first three ingredients to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest at room temperature for about 14 hours; overnight works well. The starter should have expanded and become bubbly.

2

To make the dough: Mix and knead the starter together with the remaining ingredients to make a soft, somewhat smooth dough; it should be cohesive, but the surface may still be a bit rough.

3

Place the dough in a lightly greased medium-sized bowl, cover the bowl, and let the dough rest and rise for 45 minutes.

4

Gently deflate the dough and fold its edges into the center, then turn it over in the bowl before letting it rise for an additional 45 minutes, until it's noticeably puffy.

5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface. Gently deflate it, and divide it into three equal pieces. Round each piece of dough into a rough ball by pulling the edges into the center. Cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rest for at least 15 minutes; or for up to 1 hour.

6

Working with one piece at a time, flatten the dough slightly then fold it nearly (but not quite) in half, sealing the edges with the heel of your hand. Turn the dough 180 degrees and repeat the flattening and folding two more times.

7

With the seam side down, cup your fingers and gently roll the dough into a 16" log. Taper each end of the log slightly to create the baguette's typical "pointy" end.

8

Place the logs seam-side down onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined sheet pan or pans; or into the folds of a heavily floured cotton dish towel (or couche). Cover them with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the loaves to rise until they're slightly puffy. The loaves should certainly look lighter and less dense than when you first shaped them, but won't be anywhere near doubled in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature (about 68°F).

9

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Gently roll the baguettes onto a parchment so they're seam-side down. Score and bake (with steam, if possible) for 24 to 28 minutes.

Pear Quick Bread with Streusel Topping

Pear Quick Bread with Streusel Topping

Print Recipe
By Prep Time: 55 minutes Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 medium pears (1 1/2 cups chopped)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup white all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp powdered ginger
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1/4 tsp table salt

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.

2

Peel pears. Chop the pears into 1/2 inch dice. Take 1/2 cup of the chopped pear and mash it well until it's basically pureed.

3

In a large bowl, mix together wheat flour, white flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

4

In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir in chopped pears and pear puree. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine with a large spatula until just mixed together.

5

For streusel, add all remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix with your fingers until until well combined and there is no dry flour left.

6

Using the spatula, scrape the pear batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel over the top, patting it down to push it into the batter a little. This will help it adhere to the bread.

7

Bake the bread for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes more. Allow the bread to cool for 1 hour on a rack. Then run a butter knife around the edges and carefully take the bread out of the loaf pan.
