Here’s a recipe for mini baguettes in English:

Mini Baguette Recipe

Ingredients

• 250g bread flour (強力粉)
• 175ml warm water (温水)
• 5g salt (塩)
• 3g active dry yeast (ドライイースト)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until it forms a sticky dough.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. (You can also use a stand mixer if you have one.)
3. First Rise: Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
4. Shape the Baguettes: Punch down the dough to release air, then divide it into 2-3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, thin baguette shape by flattening the dough and rolling it up tightly.
5. Second Rise: Place the shaped baguettes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
6. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F) and place a baking dish of water at the bottom of the oven. This helps create steam for a crusty exterior.
7. Score the Dough: Just before baking, make 3-4 diagonal cuts on top of each baguette using a sharp knife. This allows the bread to expand properly in the oven.
8. Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. If they’re browning too quickly, reduce the heat to 220°C (428°F) halfway through.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy your fresh mini baguettes!
