Add Water and Mix: Slowly pour 130ml of lukewarm water into the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms. Let the Dough Rest: Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. Add Olive Oil and Knead: After resting, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape the Dough: Lightly oil your work surface, then continue to knead the dough, forming it into a ball. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 30 to 45 minutes until it doubles in size. Shape the Baguettes: After the dough has risen, divide it into smaller portions and shape each one into mini baguettes. Cover and let them rest for an additional 5 minutes. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (without the fan). Place an empty container in the oven to create steam later. Prepare the Baguettes for Baking: Make shallow notches on the top of each baguette and spray them lightly with water. Bake the Baguettes: Place the mini baguettes in the preheated oven. Pour hot water into the empty container to create steam, which helps to achieve a crispy crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid over-browning. Final Touch: Optionally, spray the oven with a little water during the baking process to enhance the crispiness of the crust. Cool and Serve: Once the baguettes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with butter, cheese, or jam for breakfast. Use the mini baguettes to make sandwiches, or serve alongside soups and salads. Cooking Tips: Knead the dough well to develop the gluten, which will give the baguettes a better structure. If the crust isn’t crispy enough, leave the baguettes in the oven for a few extra minutes but keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Nutritional Benefits: Flour provides carbohydrates for energy.
