Not-Quite-Whole-Grain Baguettes
- 100 grams rye or whole-wheat flour (about 3/4 cup)
- 400 grams all-purpose flour (a scant 3 cups), plus more for handling
- 10 grams kosher salt (about 2 1/2 teaspoons)
- 6 grams instant yeast (about 2 teaspoons)
- Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
- With the machine running, add water until a ball forms, about 30 seconds.
- (Start with 1 1/2 cups water; you may need a little more or less.)
- Then process for an additional 30 to 45 seconds.
- Put the dough ball in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until risen, 2 to 3 hours.
- Cut the dough into 3 pieces, and using an absolute minimum of flour to prevent sticking, form each into a rough log.
- (You can make one large boule, or a ciabatta-shaped loaf or whatever else you like.)
- Cover with a towel and let sit about 20 minutes.
- Then shape into long baguettes; support their shape by letting them rise in baguette pans or a lightly floured piece of canvas.
- Set the oven to 465.
- (If you have a pizza stone, leave it in there.)
- The loaves will be ready to bake in 30 minutes or so.
- Slide in on a peel or in baguette pans.
- Slash or cut the top of the loaf.
- Bake, lowering heat if necessary to prevent browning, until the loaves read 210 internally (not more), 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cool on a rack.
