Best 3 Kittencals Soft White Baguette Style Bread Recipes

KITTENCAL'S SOFT WHITE BAGUETTE-STYLE BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare one large cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or sprinkled with yellow cornmeal.
• Attach the kneader blade to a heavy-duty stand mixer.
• In the stainless steel bowl, dump 3 cups flour (to start) 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Melt the butter or Crisco shortening in the microwave for about 22 seconds then dump into the bowl with the flour, sugar and salt.
• In a small cup add in the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1-1/4 cups warm water; cover with small clean cloth, and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes, stirring just once with a small spoon or whisk (if the yeast doesn't foam discard and start again).
• After 10 minutes, add in the yeast/water mixture into the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (careful not to add in too much flour, as this will create a heavy bread!).
• Knead for 7-8 minutes, or until dough is the right texture and is smooth.
• Remove dough from the bowl, and let sit on a lightly floured surface covered with a clean tea towel for 10 minutes (this is important!).
• After 10 minutes, knead very gently (dough will come together nicely).
• Form into a semi-round ball.
• Grease a large glass bowl (I just use the same stainless steel bowl that I made the dough in).
• Place the dough in the oiled bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and set in a warm place to rise aproximmately 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and remove to a floured surface.
• At this point you may cut the dough in half to make two small long breads, or keep into one piece for one large loaf.
• Using hands shape into a rectangle (no need to use a rolling pin this dough will shape very easy).
• Roll up tightly then seal all edges.
• Cover the shaped loaf/s with a clean dry tea towel, and let rise for about 30-35 minutes in a warm place.
• After rising set oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small cup whisk/mix together 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water.
• Lightly brush the egg white mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
• Bake for 25-33 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
• Delicious!

FRENCH BAGUETTES

Steps:

• Place 1 cup water, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast into bread machine pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough cycle, and press Start.
• When the cycle has completed, place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Cut dough in half, creating two 8x12 inch rectangles. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12 inch side, pounding out any air bubbles as you go. Roll gently back and forth to taper end. Place 3 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make deep diagonal slashes across loaves every 2 inches, or make one lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water; brush over tops of loaves.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
