Knead the dough and let it proof on the kitchen counter for 45-60 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Preheat the oven to 475°F for at least 15-20 minutes with a small tray on the bottom.

Shape the dough into baguettes and place them on a baking sheet.

Make 3 splashes about 1 cm deep on top of each roll right before baking.

Bake the baguettes for 25-27 minutes, adjusting the time based on your oven's temperature.
