Slow Raising – Cold Water – Baguettes

5 cups flour (675 grams)

½ oz. yeast (15 grams)

2 cups cold water

1 ½ tsp. salt

Dissolve the yeast in the cold water. Add salt and flour and mix well. Put the dough in a greased bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 12 hours. (Option: Punch down dough and put back in fridge for another 12 hours) Take the dough out of the fridge about 3 hours before it needs to be done. Handling the dough minimally, shape into 3 baguettes on a well-floured table. Put on baking sheet and cut some slits into the dough. Let rise, covered for about 45 minutes. Bake at 475 for about 8 minutes. Incredibly delicious!
