You can add active dry yeast to the dry ingredients and then add hot water @ 120 degrees F.

The only problem is, it’s expert village. You know, the team that fails to number their videos in order.

This recipe is great. I have tried other baguette recipes and they are NOT as good as this one. This is the REAL DEAL.

I have put the video links IN ORDER on a website. Please PM me for the link.

I use Active Dry Yeast.

Is that instant yeast

Why do you use words like “weird” and “funky?” You make baking sound like an infantile pursuit. Also, you use way too much yeast in your recipe. Your bread will certainly not taste like an authentic French baguette. It may look like it, but it will not taste like it.

Two things about this recipe:

1. Wayyyy too much yeast which will affect the flavor. About 3/4 teaspoon total is all that’s neccessary.

2. Better to take 20-24 hours starting with a 5-6 hour sponge and the final proofing done in the fridge for better autolyse.

Arr….I like me crust thick and snappy!

Too much gab, not enough action. Bloody awful instructor. Let you hands do the talking and only speak to accentuate any important points. Like the others said, you could have had all the steps in one video. Not even having sequence numbers – bery poor.

WTF??? the whole recipe shud be in ONE video ..this sucks ..expertvillage sucks im never gonna watch its video

it would have been more convenient for your viewers to have all this short 1 min videos on 1 , or at least put a number on each so we can know the order easily .Good overall !
