INGREDIENTS (for a standard baguette or chunkier demi baguette (half a baguette)
250 grams white bread flour
175 grams water (see formula in the video for temperature)
5 grams sea salt
3 grams instant dry yeast.

For the cooking of the baguette:
Temperature: 255 degrees Celsius ( about 490 degrees Fahrenheit) with steam.
to create the steam place a container with water at the bottom of your oven and let it heat up until lots of steam is released.

Cooking time: 20 to 25 minutes depending on how well cooked you want the bread to be.

Note about hydration level: The amount of water used for the flour is typically 70 percent of the flour weight. But keep in mind that certain type of flour like a stone ground flour for instance will absorb more water so you may have to use a bit more water then the standard measure for your dough (a ration of 75 percent of the flour weigh should do)
