Master Sourdough Baguettes with Minimal Effort

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.

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.

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