This turned out to be a lot easyer than I thought it was going to be and made me feel like a pro, and also instead of a cookie sheet I cooked it on my pizza stone, I will be making this at least twice a week from now on. Oh and make sure you preheat your pizza stone, this will make the bottem nice and brown and as crusty as the top. Oh no ok it's been almost an hour now since I cooked two loafs and I'm sorry Hun I've already ate them both, I will make a double batch tommarrow, but they were realy good. Ah Cheez I'm a bad bad boy LOL

I CAN NOT bake, AT ALL!! This was the first recipe I could actually make and it turned out GREAT! It was super easy, and I agree with the last person, put the baguette on the rack without the sheet pan so it can brown up, I put them back in for only 3 minutes. I can not wait to make this again, I will NEVER buy baguettes at the store! Now, I wonder if I could add roasted garlic in the dough, and sea salt on top. Oh the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!

Thanks Kelsey for this recipe. It was easy and perfect for my jams I've been stocking up on. Only thing I changed was the crust wasn't as browned on the bottom as I'd of liked, so I removed the loaves from the baking sheet and put them straight on the rack for a couple of minutes and got an even crust. Will make these again.

Incredibly easy recipe. This was also my first experience making bread and will not be my last. The baguettes are not as crusty as what you would find in a bakery, but they are still fantastic. Soft and doughy and absolutely perfect for sandwiches. Toast them up the next day and the crust will be nice and crispy with a soft and slightly chewy dough on the inside. Presentation was also nice, so much so that the hubby saw them and were amazed that they weren't store bought. If you don't have a warm area to let the dough rise (like I did, I would recommend using Alton Browns method. Put a shallow pan of boiling water underneath the dough in the oven. With the air conditioner blasting our house was not humid enough or warm enough. One other thing, because the baguettes are not as crusty, they don't make good crostinis in my opinion.

Easiest bread ever! However, doesn't have the flavor that a longer rising would give it. It's a trade off, but is a winner in terms of time and effort

This recipe is super simple and quick! I've tried many different baguette recipes but have never been "wowed" before. First of all, when I pulled my loaves from the oven, they were beautiful. Second of all, when I pulled a piece off to taste, it had a wonderful flaky crust and a delightfully soft texture inside. When I tasted that first bite, I was amazed! It was the best bread I've ever made. I've tried several of Kelsey's recipes and they have all turned out great! Her simple pizza dough is also amazing.
