To avoid common problems some people mostly encounter with these baguettes, follow this standard advice procedure and you won't go wrong.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities are very important for successful results
2. Use scales for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate
3. Use proper white bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour, plain or all-purpose flour is not strong enough for making bread.
4. Check your yeast is working you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here    • Sandwich bread made easy at home

    Eating some Panera bread’s baguette while watching David Attenborough teaching how to make baguette... I love it! 🥖 ❤️
  • @TheFirstAqua
    I started out on YouTube looking for an "easy recipe" for bread. Here I am now, watching this 22 step process to making French Baguettes ~ hehehe
  • I appreciate you making this video 6 years ago. I've only started making bread a few weeks ago and this will be my first time making baguettes. I am using your recipe to go with my baked potato soup tonight. Thank you for your easy instructions!
  • I just made this, and for the first time ever, my family was like “yknow this is better than the stuff we can get at the store” 😀😀😀
  • @amberelstad6698
    Day 1 of Corona quarantine in CA- and I made this! First time making bread! I followed everything to a T (except I only had all purpose flour to use) and they turned out beautifully. Thank you for a great tutorial.
  • @Jamz1726
    This was the best bread I've ever had. Well worth the "work". I've made them 3 times in the last week and my family and I are addicted. Thank you so much for sharing.
  • I watched this with my husband last night and said that looks like fun but a lot of work, don't think I'll be trying that one. Here I am today with 4 beautiful baguettes! When you say it's sticky, you're not kidding. I had a heck of a time with this dough but I followed your video and just kept going. Thank you ! They turned out great.
  • @sarashakib5374
    You literally have the most warm welcoming voice I've ever heard. My apologies if that's weird to say☺️but who else felt super safe watching this?
  • @lalegende2746
    The man in the video has a perfect voice for telling stories as a grandfather or an uncle, so soothing
  • @isaw8195
    I’m French and THIS is a perfect baguette 🥖 (well, four of them !). I can’t wait to try to make them. I live in Tokyo and finding a good baguette is rare AND expensive. Can’t wait to try this recipe ! They look so yummy ! And your voice is a delight John.
  • 6 years. 18 million views. 23,050 comments. Most definitely the best baguette baking video on the planet. And the mad lad is still replying comments and passing on his knowledge to the daily comments on this tutorial. Bravo sir. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
