Marianne Baguette - Traditional Rustic French Bread image

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!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 Baguettes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
500 g organic strong white bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons natural sea salt
1 tablespoon honey
25 g organic butter
350 ml milk

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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. Cover loosely with lightly oiled cling-film and leave to rise for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, place an oven proof bowl containing water on the bottom of the oven to heat up. (About 250mls).
  • Sprinkle top of dough with flour, then using a sharp knife cut 5 diagonal small slits across the tops of the baguettes.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then reduce temperature to 190C/375F and bake for a further 10 - 15 minutes. (If they start browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil on top.).
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool.
  • Eat immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my baguette didn't rise properly. It was a bit dense and heavy.

This baguette was a bit too chewy for my taste. I prefer bread that's a bit more soft and fluffy.

This baguette recipe is a keeper! The bread turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I especially loved the rustic look of it.
