Crispy and Chewy Mini Baguette Recipe Perfect for Any Occasion

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (420g) bread flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
  • 1 ¼ cups (295 ml) warm water (105°F / 40°C)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano
  • Seeds like poppy, sesame, or flax

Instructions

  1. If using active dry yeast, dissolve in warm water with a pinch of sugar and let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Skip this step for instant yeast.
  2. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add yeast mixture or water and stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes (or 5–6 minutes in a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic.
  4. Form into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  5. Divide dough into 4–6 pieces. Shape each into a loose oval and rest 10–15 minutes.
  6. Roll each into a 6–8 inch cylinder. Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Cover and proof 30–45 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a steam pan.
  8. Use a bread lame or razor to cut 2–3 diagonal slashes on each baguette.
  9. Add hot water to the steam pan or spray oven walls. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden.
  10. Transfer baguettes to a cooling rack and rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast for best results.
  • Experiment with different herbs and seeds for flavor.
  • Store baguettes in a paper bag to maintain crust.
