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

    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.
