Martin Philip, our resident bread whisperer, is back in the King Arthur kitchen to show you the basics for making delicious authentic baguettes! From the poolish preferment, to bulk fermentation and dividing, and of course that classic tubular shaping, Martin has the helpful hints and encouragement to get you going on your own batch. And just wait til the end for that satisfying crunch of the baguettes being sliced and bitten!

Correction: The first rise should be for 45 minutes, not 15 minutes.
