/blogs/recipes/the-almost-no-knead-mini-baguette-by-king-arthur-baking 2021-05-12T07:48:42-04:00 2023-12-06T15:30:12-05:00 The Almost No-Knead Mini Baguette by King Arthur Baking Karla Stears Ingredients

3 cups (680g) lukewarm water

8 cups (964g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

1 tablespoon (18g) salt

1 tablespoon instant yeast

Instructions

Find a large (6-quart) bowl or bucket, for dough storage in the fridge. Lightly grease the bowl or bucket.

Place the water directly into the bowl or other large container.

Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Add the dry ingredients to the water, and stir to combine. Mix until there are no dry spots; the texture of the dough should be fairly soft.

Knead the dough gently for a few minutes, by hand; it'll be very sticky. Or knead for 1 or 2 minutes in a stand mixer. Cover the container, and let the dough rest at room temperature for 2 hours.

Refrigerate overnight, or for up to 7 days.

To bake bread: Scoop out about scant 2 pounds of dough (about 30 oz.). Place on a greased work surface.

Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces and shape each piece of dough into a rough, slightly flattened oval.

Fold the dough in half lengthwise, and seal the edges with the heel of your hand. Flatten slightly, and fold lengthwise and seal again.

With the seam side down, cup your fingers and gently roll the of dough into an 8" log.

Lightly grease and flour the cavities of the ¶àÀֵ羺 Mini Baguette Baker. Place the logs seam-side down onto the pan. Cover them with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the loaves to rise till very puffy, about 1 1/2 hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 450°F.

Slash the baguette three or four times on the diagonal.

Put the lid on and bake until a very deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

Starter (poolish)

1/2 cup (113g) water, cool

1/16 teaspoon active dry yeast or instant yeast

1 cup (120g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Dough

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast

1 cup + 2 tablespoons (255g) water, lukewarm

all of the starter

3 1/2 cups (418g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour*

2 teaspoons (12g) salt

Instructions

  1. To make the starter: Mix everything together to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest at room temperature for about 14 hours; overnight works well. The starter should have expanded and become bubbly.
  2. To make the dough: Mix and knead everything together — by hand, mixer or bread machine set on the dough cycle — to make a soft, somewhat smooth dough; it should be cohesive, but the surface may still be a bit rough. If you're using a stand mixer, knead for about 4 minutes on medium-low speed (speed 2 on a KitchenAid); the finished dough should stick a bit at the bottom of the bowl.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly greased medium-sized bowl, cover the bowl, and let the dough rest and rise for 45 minutes. Gently deflate the dough and fold its edges into the center, then turn it over in the bowl before letting it rise for an additional 45 minutes, until it's noticeably puffy.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface. Gently deflate it, and divide it into five equal pieces.
  5. Round each piece of dough into a rough ball by pulling the edges into the center. Cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes; or for up to 1 hour.
  6. Working with one piece at a time, flatten the dough slightly then fold it nearly (but not quite) in half, sealing the edges with the heel of your hand. Turn the dough around, and repeat: fold, then flatten. Repeat this whole process again; the dough should have started to elongate itself.
  7. With the seam side down, cup your fingers and gently roll the dough into a 8" log. Your goal is a 7" baguette, so 8" allows for the slight shrinkage you'll see once you're done rolling. Taper each end of the log slightly to create the baguette's typical "pointy" end.
  8. Preheat your oven to 450°.ÌýLightly grease and flour the cavities of the ¶àÀֵ羺 Mini Baguette Baker. Place the logs seam-side down onto the pan. Cover them with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the loaves to rise until they're slightly puffy. The loaves should certainly look lighter and less dense than when you first shaped them, but won't be anywhere near doubled in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature (about 68°F).Ìý
  9. Using a baker's lame (a special curved blade) or a very sharp knife held at about a 45° angle, make three to five long lengthwise slashes in each baguette.
  10. Put the lid on and load the baguettes into the oven.
  11. Bake the baguettes for 22-24 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they're a very deep golden brown. Remove them from the oven and cool them on a rack.

  • Eggland’s Best Eggs – 12 large
  • Mayonnaise – ¾ cup
  • Roquefort Cheese – 4 tablespoons, crumbled, at room temperature
  • Parsley – ¼ cup, fresh, rough chopped, Italian flat-leaf variety
  • Lemon Zest – ½ teaspoon
  • Sea Salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – ¾ teaspoon, freshly cracked
  • Country Bread – 6 slices, sliced ½-inch think, toasted
  • Olive Oil – for serving
  • Microgreens – ½ cup

Ìý

Directions

Ìý

  1. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water, making sure the shells don’t crack.Ìý Lower the heat and simmer the water for 10 minutes.Ìý Drain the water, leaving the eggs in the pot, and refill the pot with cold tap water.Ìý Set aside until the eggs are cool enough to handle.Ìý Peel the eggs by tapping both ends of the egg on a board, then roll the egg between your hand and the board to crackle the shell—et voilà—perfectly shelled eggs!Ìý Set the shelled eggs aside to cool completely.Ìý

Ìý

  1. Once the eggs are cooled, slice each egg about ½-inch thick and transfer the sliced eggs into a large bowl.

Ìý

  1. Next, add the mayonnaise, Roquefort cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.Ìý Don’t worry about breaking up the egg slices, that is exactly what you want to happen.

Ìý

  1. Spoon the egg salad mixture on each toasted bread slice, garnish with little drizzle of olive oil, and top each one with micro greens. If you don’t have micro greens, more fresh parsley will work just fine!
