flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour offers more nutrients, while all-purpose flour is often less expensive.

Add instant yeast to a mixing bowl.

Add water, sugar, flour, salt, and nutmeg to the bowl.

Mix everything together on very low speed until it comes together.

Increase the speed to knead the dough until it is sticky.

Shape the dough into a round shape and add oil to the mixing bowl.

Put the dough into the oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in size (about 60 minutes).

Punch out the excess air from the dough after it has risen.

Shape the dough into baguettes.

Egg wash the shaped baguettes.

Bake in a preheated oven at a very high temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
