This homemade French baguette recipe is easy enough for beginners but delivers bakery-style results!

🥖 Ingredients (for 2–3 baguettes)

  • 500 g bread flour (T55 or T65 if available)
  • 320 ml lukewarm water
  • 10 g salt
  • 7 g active dry yeast (or 20 g fresh yeast)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water, then add gradually. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough

Knead for 8–10 minutes (by hand or stand mixer) until soft and elastic. Shape into a ball.

3. First Rise

Cover and let rise for 1.5–2 hours in a warm place, until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Baguettes

Punch down the dough, divide into 2–3 portions, and roll each into a baguette shape.

5. Second Rise

Place on a floured baking sheet or parchment paper. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.

6. Bake the Baguettes

Preheat oven to 240°C / 465°F. Score each baguette with a sharp blade.
Add a dish of water to the oven for steam.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
