I have to say the recipe was
I also decided to up the ante and make my own butter to slather all over them. Below is the recipe I used, thank you Vitamix!
BAGUETTE
Ingredients
4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon dry yeast
2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Serving: Makes 4 baguettes; Serving = 1 oz piece
1 teaspoon dry yeast
2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Serving: Makes 4 baguettes; Serving = 1 oz piece
1. In a small bowl dissolve yeast in ½ cup warm water using a fork. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, stir in remaining 1½ cup water. Mix until sticky enough to knead. Knead for 6-10 minutes; dough should be sticky and smooth. Put in a bowl, cover with a damp tea cloth, and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume.
3. Punch down and divide into 4 pieces. Roll each into a ball and shape into a baguette. Transfer to slightly greased baking sheet (I use a special baguette-shaped baking pan) and let rise until nearly doubled). Brush with mixture of one beaten egg and one TB water. Score.
4. Pour two cups of hot water in a pan and place in preheated 450° F oven. Bake the baguettes for 15 minutes then lower temperature to 400° F and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool on a rack before slicing.
