I’m just trying to be French over here. With the baguettes and the croissants. And the accent. Everything.

These sourdough baguettes are easy to make and easy to digest. I kid you not, easiest dough you’ll make that’s sourdough. I literally only mixed and kneaded the dough, and that was enough! Then I just let it stand and allowed it to rise.

A bowl of sourdough dough resting on a countertop beside a notebook with handwritten notes on how to make sourdough baguettes.

Then, later on, after the dough had risen, I cut it in half and shaped it. Then I made those beautiful slanted cuts that the baguettes are famous for.

Two pieces of shaped sourdough baguette dough with slanted cuts resting on a granite countertop sprinkled with flour.

Pop those things in the oven on some parchment paper and bam! Your very own baguettes.
