Sourdough Baguette

A crusty, chewy baguette with a slightly sour, tangy flavor. Perfect for sandwiches or as a side to any meal.

Ingredients - Serves 2

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Stir in the sourdough starter until well combined.
Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal parts. Shape each part into a long, thin baguette.
Place the baguettes on a baking sheet, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise again for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Bake the baguettes for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Let the baguettes cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
