MARIANNE BAGUETTE - TRADITIONAL RUSTIC FRENCH BREAD
A traditional style baguette de Campagne - rustic French bread, which is easy to make and has lots of body - it is NOT like the usual light, supermarket produced baguettes of today. This bread can be started off in a bread machine if you wish. Marianne is the national symbol of France; she personifies Liberty, Reason & the Triumph of the Republic. She appears on stamps, government forms, town halls, law courts and the former French franc coins & banknotes; she even appears on high quality Label Rouge Baguettes and Pain!! Therefore, I have called this homemade French Bread/Baguette recipe after her.....it seems only right and proper!

Steps:
- Directions 1. Put the ingredients into the bread machine. Set to the dough programme and start. Grease a large baking tray & Pre-heat oven to 220C/400°F. 2. Once the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured surface and punch it down to deflate it. Shape dough into two long "baguette" shaped loaves and place on the baking sheet.

Tips:
- Use a digital scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Make sure your water is warm to the touch, but not hot. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
- Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the bread its chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 450°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
