French Baguette (Bread Machine)

Add all ingredients into a bread machine in order as above ( liquid first than dry ingredients)

Select to "French" or "Dough" setting on the bread machine

After the bread machine has completed its dough cycle, remove from bread machine onto a rolling board

Punch the dough and cut into 4 equal pieces

Roll each dough flat with a rolling pin and fold into a cylinder shape

Place each dough onto a floured cloth separating each dough from touching each other

Set aside to double in size

Cut diagonal slits across the bread dough with a sharp blade

Bake at 180 C for 20 mins in an oven with a tray of hot water to generate steam to create the crust on the bread

Remove from oven and tap the under side to make sure it sounds hollow
