This is my favorite cooking channel. I’ve always wanted to bake bread, but always felt intimidated by the process. I used to live on top of a bakery growing up in Brazil, the smell of fresh bread is something that brings me back home. If there is one thing to complain about the US is that bread sucks unless you’re lucky to live by a small bakery.

I made my first bread following this recipe. Hell I made bread every single morning this week because of how well it turned out. I expected to be disappointed since I don’t bake, but I am completely blown away.

Your channel provides the perfect balance between easy to follow instructions with big dog results. I’m a fan.

I came up with a couche hack that I like better while making these. I pulled out a giant sheet of parchment paper and folded it between each baguette. Then, I snipped the paper between each one with a scissors when ready and picked the whole thing by the ends of the paper and transferred to my baguette Dutch oven.

From never baking anything, to now baking a loaf of bread every week or two - all thanks to you man, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. This is super empowering stuff. You absolutely rock Brian 🍻

[subinct]

Of all the baking youtubers, you are the best combination of Knowledgeable, Genuinely helpful and and the best teacher.

FYI: This recipe only made three for me. One ended up stuck to the living room carpet when I threw it across the room. The emotional breakdown aside, the other three came out amazing.

At 67 yrs I’ve never baked bread and can count on one hand how many batches of cookies I’ve tried. So yea, a complete novice. Living in tiny town 100 miles from anywhere you want to be I cannot buy fresh baguettes and so thought I’d try this. Retirement gives you LOTS of time on your hands. I watched the video 5 times and followed recipe and process exactly and OMG my family enjoyed fresh AMAZING baguettes Christmas Day! They couldn’t believe I made these and frankly this “Gran” is n disbelief. Thanks Brian!!!

I used to bake three almost every day; one to eat immediately, one to eat later, and one to give away.

[latenite]

Thank you, I spent all day. I viewed your instruction dozen of times. I followed the receipt to the the teeth and made four baguettes. They turned out perfect and delicious. Nashville TN is not known for anything French and or finding good baguette.

[graywaygirls]

I just wanted to say I just made this bread and it’s the best recipe that I’ve made so far. You’re a good teacher and this recipe is definitely a keeper 👌🤗❤️

[jpeood]

enjoy your cup of coffee! I travelled in and out of France for many years as well as a lot of other wester European countries. I can’t tell you how much I miss grabbing a fresh baguette at a local bakery, stopping in a local shop to grab some sliced ham and cheese, finding a nice bench to have a wonderful sandwich! It’s so hard to find a baguette in my area that isn’t commercially par-baked and reheated. I love the fresh baked, who doesn’t?

[catherinegreatrex]

Wow, wow, wow... I finally made these today and as a native French person living in the UK I can honestly say that I haven’t tasted as good baguette as they one I made with your recipe. You Sir are now a legend in our household!, Thank you for the recipe and technique.

[mariadelrio]

So good this recipe I can't stop making it. Thank you, I am from Uruguay and grow up eating fresh, warm, crunchy baguettes from the bakery. Now if I wanted to eat one like that, I have to drive 1hr and a half to go to a bakery in Montreal to get a good one. I star making my own following this recipe and is the best. Thank you again.

[mackenzieallen]

Excellent video and instruction! Thank you! I've been baking very nice baguettes for a while but always looking for additional insight, etc. Quick tip for anyone finding the great crispness softens a short while after cooling: return the batch to the turned-off-but-still-warm oven for a couple of minutes. It will refresh the crust and "set" it.

[boscobear]

Dude I gotta say you are inspirational as hell.

[Remi-niuf]

Thanks for another amazing video!
Your videos are really motivating to improve my baking.

The small details where you close up on the dough while the machine is working, when you touch the dough after 2 hours etc is really useful to see if im getting the correct results.

[lindanedilsky]

Brian, you are spot on. I was born in France and for 65 years I have yet to find a good recipe for baguette or a decent bakery that makes authentic baguette. Your recipe is spot on. I actually do my baguettes by hand because I don't like cleaning the mixer. LOL FYI, my husband said I was too clutzy for a sharp blade, so I have a very sharp ceramic knife I use. Not perfect but close. Problem is this recipe is so good, that we end up eating all the bread in one sitting. :)

[sclinchy]

I’m a pretty good baker, but I’ve tried baguettes many times and I’ve never come anywhere close to the real thing until this recipe! Very, very good.

[quaich]

Having reviewed many baguette recipes on line and in books this is by far the best, authentic result. Thank you

[dabrownsound]

I used half of this dough to make pizza for the fam, and my dad was like “give mom the recipe! This is way better than take out” thanks for sharing!

[ImForgivenToo]

GREAT VIDEO ! no loud music, no unnecessary chat....just PRECISE instructions ! love it !
until I get malt powder, I have been using a tsp of honey or maple syrup...gives the bread great color !
