Combine water and sugar; stir to dissolve. Add yeast and let bloom for 5 minutes.

Add bread flour and salt; stir to combine into a shaggy dough. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 24 - 48 hours.

Rest the dough at room temperature for 30 minutes. Transfer to a floured surface and press out gas bubbles. Form into a log and divide into portions.

Roll each piece flat and shape into a baguette. Pinch seams to seal and place on a non-stick baguette pan.

Create a warm humid proofing space by placing a metal baking pan with hot water on the bottom rack. Place the baguette pan on the middle rack and let rise for 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 475°F. Slash the risen baguettes and mist with water.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
