Here is how you make Garlic Baguette:

INSTRUCTIONS1. Whisk together water and yeast in a large bowl; let sit until yeast is foamy, about 10 minutes. Add flour, and stir with a fork until dough forms and all flour is absorbed; let dough sit to allow flour to hydrate, about 20 minutes. Add salt; transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Transfer dough ball to a lightly greased bowl; cover bowl with plastic wrap, and place bowl in a cold oven. Let dough rest until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. 2. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface, and shape into an 8″ x 6″ rectangle. Fold the 8″ sides toward the middle ( Figure B), then fold the shorter sides toward the center. Return dough, seam side down, to bowl. Cover with plastic again, and return to oven; let sit until doubled in size, about 1 hour.3. Remove bowl with dough from oven, heat oven to 475?. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface, and cut into three equal pieces; roll with a rolling pin into a flat sheet. Spread garlic, butter and cheese (opt herbs) into center and roll each piece into a rope. Flour a sheet of parchment paper on a rimless baking sheet; place ropes, evenly spaced, on paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let sit until it doubles in size, about 50 minutes.5. Uncover; using a sharp razor or paring knife, slash the top of each baguette at a 30?degree angle in four spots ; each slash should be about 4″ long. Using the corner of the parchment paper as a guide, slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, onto the baking sheet. Bake the baguettes until darkly browned and crisp, about 30 minutes; cool before serving.Serving Size: Makes 2 large or 3 smaller baguettesNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SJZ6595.
