Five Minute Baguette

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-husjZkxHw Video says 480F but I think the guy's oven is bad because getting my oven to 480F by independent thermometer causes loose flour to burn, so I lowered to 450F.

Step 1

Add flour and salt to large bowl, briefly stir to disperse salt. Add yeast and water and mix with the handle of a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball and there is no loose flour.

Step 2

Cover and let rise until ~doubled and jiggly, about 8–10 hours. Can make this faster by adding a small amount of honey, proofing in a warm spot, and/or adding more yeast.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 450F.

Step 4

Sprinkle flour generously on a clean surface and place the dough ball on top. Add more flour across the surface of the dough ball and then cut into four equal pieces. Stretch each piece into a baguette shape.

Step 5

(NOTE) Use a steam tray for better crustiness.

Step 6

Bake until ~210F internal and/or desired color, usually ~25 minutes.
