Puratos Recipe
Tips and tricks: To obtain the French look the first incision must start, and the last one finish, at the very edge of the baguette. Incisions should overlap one another along a third of the cut. By adding a portion of the water at the end of the mixing, you will obtain a more humid crumb and nice cuts. You will obtain better cuts if you let the dough dry slightly before cutting. It is recommended to use a humid blade. To make a “baguette campagnarde”, create a mix that is 50% flour and 50% semolina. To get the appealing traditional look, dust with rye flour before cutting.
