Easy French Baguette

"Yes, you can enjoy a crusty loaf of French baguette at home -- even if you're not in Paris! This easy baguette recipe includes all of the tips and tricks you'll need for a perfect, golden brown loaf of French bread every single time. Use the crusty, chewy bread for sandwiches, alongside bowls of soup, or with your next pasta dinner! My goal was to create an easy French bread recipe with a crisp crust and light, airy center -- while keeping the process approachable and manageable -- even for beginner bread-bakers. Because let's be honest: very few of us have the time (or desire) to work on a loaf of bread for an entire day, and very few of us will devote our lives to creating authentic artisan French baguettes in a boulangerie. Instead, what you get here is a really simple process that yields two very delicious loaves of bread! "
