PREPARING AND MAKING BAGUETTES
For this recipe, you will need all the baguette accessories supplied: 1 baguette baking
rack (8), 2 non-stick baguette baking trays (8), 1 finishing blade (9) and 1 brush (9).
1. Kneading and rising of the dough
• Plug in your breadmaker.
• After the beep, programme 1 is displayed
by default - H .
• Select the crust colour.
• It is recommended not to bake only 2 ba-
guettes as they would be overbaked.
• If you choose to bake 8 baguettes (2 batches
of 4 baguettes): it is advisable to shape your
8 baguettes and to keep 4 of them in the
refrigerator for the second baking.
• Press the button. The operating indicator
light comes on and the timer colon flashes.
The dough kneading cycle will start up, fol-
lowed by the rising cycle -
I
.
Note:
- During the kneading stage, it is normal for
the dough not to be evenly blended.
- Once the preparation is finished, the bread-
maker goes into standby. Many beeps will
inform you that the kneading and rising
cycles are complete and the operating indi-
cator will blink.
After the sound signals, the dough must be
baked within one hour. After that time, the
machine resets itself and you will not be
able to bake the baguettes. If this happens,
we recommend that you use programme 3
for baking the baguettes alone.
2. Making and baking baguettes
To help you through the stages, refer to the
recipe book supplied.
We are showing you what the baker does,
but after a few trials, you will have find
own way of shaping the baguettes. No mat-
ter how you go about it, the result is gua-
ranteed.
• Lift the bread pan out of the breadmaker - B .
• Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface.
• Remove the dough from the bread pan and
put it on your work surface.
• Roll the dough into a ball and, using a knife,
divide it into 4 equal portions.
• You will have 4 dough portions of equal
weight, which you must shape into ba-
guettes.
To make your baguettes lighter and more
airy, allow the dough portions to rest for 10
minutes before shaping them.
The length of the baguette must not be lon-
ger than the length of the non-stick baking
tray (about 15 cm).
You can vary the flavour of your breads by
garnishing them. To do so, just dampen the
dough with water and roll them in sesame
or poppy seeds.
• Once you have shaped the baguettes, lay
them on the non-stick trays.
