Charlie, I’m a big fan and love your videos. For baguettes, I use a lower hydration to help shape, and I do get a good medium crumb. I proof and bake, using a baguette pan. Learning a trick, the baguette pan can go into a large roasting pan to get the steam.

I appreciate it! I did try placing a large roasting pan over top of the baguettes to trap in steam, and the results were good, but not as good as the method I ended up using in the video. I'll have to try the roasting pan with a lid though, that may work out better!

I've been making sourdough sandwich bread with the same starter since about 2013, and for some reason have always tried yeast-based recipes when trying to make baguettes, but this method has given me far and away the best results I've gotten so far. I and everyone I've made these for absolutely loves them. Easily the recipe / method that comes closest to bringing back memories of those morning strolls to the boulangerie.

Nice job Charlie! @5:45, I would also make the point that a couche, is made from untreated and unbleached flax linen, which allows the dough to breathe and dry out excess moisture. So using a regular kitchen cloth will not provide the same results. Not that it cannot be done, but for those home bakers who seek out the proper tools, a baker’s couche is the way to go. Yours looks like it was bleached and therefore doesn’t have the same stiffness as the untreated and unbleached ones. Also, they should never be washed, just air out to dry. Great video.

Thanks for the info! I agree that the couche should provide far better results, but just wanted to provide the option to those that don't have one or can't get one. I wasn't actually aware of the material differences. It turns out that mine was made of cotton, so I just ordered a flax linen one. I'll be curious to see if that makes a difference!

The Regular Chef You’re most welcome. You’re going to love your new couche, hopefully you ordered it from a reputable place. I bought mine from the SFBI, www.sfbi.com/baking-supplies/linen-canvas-couche , I can’t remember if they’re imported from France but they are the real deal because I did have one from France and it is exactly the same. They do mention you can wash it but it has to be in cold water. Best is simply to brush off the excess flour and air-dry it. Enjoy!

No problem, I'm glad you found the video helpful! I think it's super important to understand the "why" behind what we're doing in the kitchen, and not just the "what". The ingredients below include all flour used in the recipe, so that includes the levain as well. So 100g of flour goes into the levain, and 375g goes into the rest of the dough.

Hi Charlie. Perfect timing for this. My wife just got me (for father's day) a tin-plated steel italian bread pan that I plan to use after the final shaping. I'm very excited to test-drive your sourdough baguette recipe! But I'm writing for a different reason. I stumbled across a sourdough bread recipe on youtube (please don't take this as an act of disloyalty -- you are, hands down, the best!) which featured the use of the asian water roux known as tangzhong. The claim is that substituting approx 20% of the weight of the dough with tangzhong allows a significantly higher hydration (85%+) without adding the slack and stickiness that comes with very high hydration doughs. I'm wondering if you have any thoughts about this. Thanks in advance!
@TheRegularChef
4 жыл бұрын
Hi! Haha I appreciate it, let me know how the baguettes go if you try them out! Yeah I've seen the tangzhong method used too, but haven't tried it myself. To me it seems like more work than necessary because with a bit of practice, handling higher hydration doughs becomes much easier. But if you're trying out an extremely high hydration or just want to make the dough easier to handle in general, it might be worthwhile! It's definitely something I want to test out in the future!
@julianatent9876
4 жыл бұрын
Ok, cool. Thanks! I just made the levain for the baguettes, so, if all goes well, we’ll have some nice bread in time for dinner tomorrow. As far as the tangzhong goes, what I might do is modify your tartine sourdough recipe by subbing 20% (by weight) with the tangzhong, and bumping up the hydration into the low to mid 80s. I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy baking, y’all!

Again a great video Chef! I'm curious to know though: this recipe is fairly similar to the basic sourdough one. However, the baguette has longer proofing at lower temperatures and no retarding. How would the end result be different if I would apply the basic sourdough recipe and shape and bake them as baguettes?
@TheRegularChef
3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the main differences are that the baguette uses only bread flour, whereas the basic sourdough bread uses 90% bread flour and 10% whole wheat, and the baguette dough is at a higher hydration. That was done to achieve a less wheaty and less tangy flavor, and to make the baguettes lighter and airier, but you could definitely use the basic sourdough recipe to make baguettes if you don't mind those things! And the main reason I didn't retard the baguettes is just because they wouldn't fit in most peoples' refrigerators. So I decided to proof the baguettes at a slightly lower temperature to balance out the lack of retardation.

Just so I'm understanding this correctly, in the beginning when you mixed the "mature starter" with the WW and W flour, does that mean that the starter wasn't active and was taken out from the fridge? Also, would it matter if I revive it with only white flour? Thanks
@TheRegularChef
3 жыл бұрын
When I refer to mature starter, I mean starter that's been fed within about the last 24 hours. So you could use it straight from the fridge if you want, but I think you get the best results if you remove it from the fridge, then feed it once and wait about 24 hours, then use it to make the levain. But yeah, using only white flour should work just fine!

@TheRegularChef
4 жыл бұрын
I would say the bulk fermentation isn't too short considering that it's all performed at 75F. From the time you add the levain to the time you divide and shape the dough, it's about 5 hours. Then the final proof takes only about 1-2 hours, so if I made the bulk fermentation longer, the dough might over-ferment.
@roxannekellison8349
3 жыл бұрын
The first time I tried this recipe, the baguettes turned out great. It must have been beginner's luck because ever since then I have had nothing but trouble. Problems start during the bulk fermentation. As I am coil folding the dough, it gets progressively weaker and weaker until by the final fold, it is a goopy mess. What's going wrong? I use a proofing box or oven with the light on @75 degrees but still the problem persists.
@TheRegularChef
3 жыл бұрын
Hmm, it sounds like the dough is over-fermenting if it becomes weaker throughout the bulk fermentation. I would try reducing the temperature of the bulk fermentation to 65 or 70F and see if that helps. If not, you may want to try decreasing the hydration slightly as well to make the dough less goopy.
