To avoid common problems some people mostly encounter with these baguettes, follow this standard advice procedure and you won't go wrong.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities are very important for successful results
2. Use scales for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate
3. Use proper white bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour, plain or all-purpose flour is not strong enough for making bread.

It felt like I was watching a recipe by Winnie the Pooh and it made me so happy and warm inside.

The video is 7 years old and the man still hearts every comment, what a legend!

I love how, 6 years after this video was uploaded, he still provides helpful tips and extra recipes in case someone wants to bake something else!

Day 1 of Corona quarantine in CA- and I made this! First time making bread! I followed everything to a T (except I only had all purpose flour to use) and they turned out beautifully. Thank you for a great tutorial.

One of the best videos, for 14 min he shows practically everything what you need and how to make a baguette step by step, without any stupid jokes, it's an old school, I love it, he is not a clown in the kitchen as many in the youtube now, he is a great. Respect and many many thanks.
Do not waste your time for watching other videos "how to make baguettes" with some clowns talking-talking-talking for 40-50 min, and at the end you will really lost your interest to video and how to make a baguette.

I have a daughter 5 years old and she is in love with the sound of your voice and when i went to read her a story she said 'its lovely mummy but not as nice as if the cooking man read it!' :)

[teresaprzybylko]

I love how you're still replying comments even after more than three years. I'll definitely try this!

[dont_delay]

Dear Sir, i am thrilled . Been attempting bread for years . This is in another league . The best bread I ever made . I can't thank you enough . And your voice is so soothing . Was a pleasure to learn from you

[kreemaahmlaamhahm]

I just made this, and for the first time ever, my family was like “yknow this is better than the stuff we can get at the store” 😀😀😀

[lukewood]

Ok guys, this recipe is just amazing. John you have done such an amazing job with it. Ive been selling these baggeutes at school for the past month because everyone LOVES them. ive made over $100 by selling them thats how good they are. what i would recomend is putting 2 1/8 tps salt instead of 1 1/2. also, i would cure the dough for longer and do four 1 hour rests instead of 45 mins. but besides that theyre extremly fluffy and i love them!

[rahelmihretab]

Who is here because of coronavirus staying at home. Wowww am ager to try it. Now it's almost night I will try tomorrow 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[sarashakib]

You literally have the most warm welcoming voice I've ever heard. My apologies if that's weird to say☺️but who else felt super safe watching this?

Eating some Panera bread’s baguette while watching David Attenborough teaching how to make baguette... I love it! 🥖 ❤️

[amandaturnbough]

I watched this with my husband last night and said that looks like fun but a lot of work, don't think I'll be trying that one. Here I am today with 4 beautiful baguettes! When you say it's sticky, you're not kidding. I had a heck of a time with this dough but I followed your video and just kept going. Thank you ! They turned out great.
