Excellent recipe and description. I have made these baguettes several times, and they come out great. I’m making them again for Thanksgiving. Even if you haven’t tried baking bread, this is not difficult, and the results are some amazing, fresh bread.

In reply to Mary. Yep, just do that and don't reduce the heat.

In reply to Sammy. I haven't used malt powder before! I'm not really sure but I get you can play with it, it's a pretty forgiving recipe.

Hello, Melissa. I tried the recipe and turned out awesome! My family loved it. I followed the receipt and used 1 tablespoon of honey, 25 grams.
I am wondering if the honey can be replaced with malt powder? If yes, how much can it be added to the recipe?
Thank you.

I make this bread often. My friends say it’s better than any bakery French bread.
