Shaping baguettes is all about finesse and patience. 🥖✨ Here are some tips to help you get those perfect loaves:
1. Flour the Dough: Roll the dough all the way around in flour in a banneton before shaping. This prevents sticking and makes handling much easier.
2. Rest Time: Give your dough enough time to rest after preshaping—about 1 hour from the fridge. This relaxes the gluten and makes shaping smoother.
3. Use a Floured Couche: Place the shaped baguettes in a floured couche to support their shape and prevent sticking during the final rise.
