[b]I want to say, though, that flour comes different, despite the instructions of sorts on the packaging. In my case, the flour was very bad. Had to add more than required for the recipe. So if someone will bake this bread and flour will need more than written, do not be offended and judge me harshly. It's all about the flour. And yet - the recipe is very simple, plain taste of the bread. But You can vary it by adding your favorite spices (I then thought about it)[/b] Well, with lyrics finished, proceed. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Parts add sifted flour.

When all flour is added, add salt. Carefully mix everything and knead the dough.

Leave the dough for proofing for 1 hour, and even more (I was 1.5 hours). When the dough came, to divide it into 4 equal parts and spread on the table dusted with flour (the balls also dusted with flour).

Now start shaping the baguettes. Each ball roll the "baton". Spread on oiled baking sheet (literally a little).

Now take the scissors and make cuts at an angle of 20 degrees to 2/3 the depth of the baguette. To do incisions at an equal distance from each other. Every slice is deployed from the other in the opposite direction, thus forming a spike.

Also come with the remaining three "balls". Between baguettes laid parchment paper, folded several times and coated with oil. Cover baguettes with a towel and allow to stand for another 50-60 minutes.

The baguettes have doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 250*. Before you put the baking sheet with the baguettes in the oven, sprinkle it with cold water. Bake the baguettes for approximately 10-12 minutes until Golden brown. Unfortunately, that day everything was against me. Flour had a bad one... And with the oven, something happened, the door would not close firmly with one hand. Therefore, Golden did not work. But despite all these troubles, the bread turned out air and edible. And NORWECOM and garlic went as children to school!!!:-D :-D :-D
