    Pick up the inverted baking sheet that has the baguette on parchment and slide the parchment directly on the preheated baking stone. It's helpful to remove any racks above the baking stone! To remove baguette from the oven slide the parchment or the finished baguette back onto the cookie sheet or cooling rack. Tongs might help in this last step. Happy Baking! Irene@KAF

    If you are kneading by hand, it could take up to 10 minutes. You are looking for a very soft smooth, slightly slack dough.

    I made it once and failed as the dough was way too soft and my baguettes already lost the shape even before rolling them. I watched your video I am so happy as I got to see how you do it. The picture is much more clear now. One question. I do not have a mixer. How long should the dough be mixed with hands and how to know when it is enough. I suppose, I don't want it too elastic.

    Good flavor, crispy crust, very good water to liquid ratio. My dough came together well. The video was definitely helpful.
