I can't understand why your channel doesn't have millions of followers. Your baking skills are truly second to none and I would like to wish you the very best for this year 2023 and beyond. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent.
Tried your recipe over the weekend, (the proofing), and baked them last night (Monday). The first 2 came out brilliantly but I forgot to score the second two. I was just so excited that the first two looked so good. I used a baguette tray for the first two and the oven tray for the second two. They were all crispy and delicious. A long old process but worth it. Thanks.
Phillip this is one of my favorite pre-ferment. Vietnamese buns, baguette, pizza dough, focaccia and regular white sandwich bread. I also use it for killer waffles. Great stuff. Thanks Phillip
Hey Philip, I've been watching your channel for several months and recently since you mentioned Jack; I started watching him as well. Now I have some good news To share I first posted this on jack's channel since I used his faster recipe. (easiest French Baguettes at Home) : I haven't baked in at least 10 years.. But within the last 8 months I've been watching culinary exploration and this channel. There is a poolish version from culinary that I'd love to try but setting myself up for the times schedule wise seems tricky for the time being. However I bit the bullet and made this at home. My razor skills need sharpening but they came out crispy, delicious AND with the most open crumb I have ever made. I have Philip and Jack to thank for the encouragement to be motivated enough to try again. thank YOU guys for not giving up where I did and for putting it in consise layman's terms without the extra verbose chemistry/biology class. I would like to try adding malted barley syrup to the mix what do you think?
Nice job buddy. Jack is a top chap with a great channel. I’m pleased your baking is going well, and guess what? The more you do it, the better you’ll get. Malted barley would work but it does contain sugar so watch the colour when baking in the oven. Start at around 5% baker’s percentage and remember that the malt syrup will affect the crumb colour a little but it will add great flavour (caramel). Keep me posted
Made my first successful bread ever with this exact technic, thank you SO MUCH - It is literally the best baguette i have had since i was in France last summer
I think I won the lottery with your recipe💥💥💥. I baked today my fourth badge and they are ok but no bubbles inside. Yours is incredibly descriptive, giving alternatives, etc. thank you sooooo much. I will try it in a couple of days. God bless you. ❤❤❤
Just made my first ever baguettes 🥖 according to your recipe, they turned out so good! I made a mistake though and didn’t score it deep enough in the middle, so it is a bit flatter in the middle, but the edges are perfect. Advice to anyone who’ll be doing this - consider making double amount of the dough, I wish I did at least, they are just too good! :) thank you for the detailed description of each step!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! And for using exact measurements in grams. I only use recipe's that measures in grams otherwise there's too much room for error
My family absolutely love these baguettes. Thank you! The crust is crusty and a little chewy but do not fall apart like the store bought. Great crumb texture. I should have activated my active dry yeast first. The poolish did not rise much after 15 hours, bought out to RT for 3 hours, did the same when fermenting the next day. Also need to work on my rolling skill, haha, probably too much flour on the surface hard to stretch out.
I'm really pleased you and your family enjoyed this one, the crust and crumb has really good texture. It's a bit of a fine line between too much and too little flour when shaping, you'll get it. Cheers for letting me know what you thought!
@@CulinaryExploration Leftover on the counter for 2 days, the last bit still taste as good. Used to eat baguettes every morning in Paris, didn't think that I can actually made them. Yippee!
Just found your channel. Absolutely love it. Well filmed, well presented, tips and tricks explained clearly and in a simple but meaningful way. I've been a home baker for years and always try to up my baking game some more. Thank you for your efforts.
I loved this recipe.The poolish method to a good French baguette is the best. I like his wonderful accent and his simple directions. for him to give someone several ways to rise your bread from using a couche to using parchment paper. It's nice for professional bakers to understand that not all novices have these tools. Luckily for me I have been baking for a long time. So I have several couches. I made them myself. THE BREAD IS OUTSTANDING. THE CRUMB MADE ME SO PROUD TO SHOW IT OFF.
thank you, thank you, thank you. for the first time, I made baguettes by myself by following your recipe after three attempts with other recipes. you are the best!
I just subscribed to your channel. Love this baguette recipe and how to make it. Very clear and detailed instructions. Your sourdough' recipes will be my next step. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Having tried different methods over the years, the 2x18 hour fridge fermentation is my last destination. This gives me the absolute best color and taste. I had a little less oven spring than in this magnificently well explained video, but I blame it on my crappy oven (230°C max). I prefer dividing the bulk in 3 fat ones instead of 4, to compensate for my slightly smaller tray and baking stone. Thank you!
Thank you showing us easy step I can make this easily. I don’t have the proofing towel I am able to use a regular kitchen towel or parchment paper . You made it look so easy and yummy I already did my polish. Sooo excited hopefully it will turnout as good as your.🙏🙏👍👍🌹
@@CulinaryExploration Bit delayed in starting, but just came out after starting Tuesday night. Not bad 1st attempt. Bit wriggly shaped (need a peel) and lacked a bit of spring (may have slightly overproofed, and need a chain!), crumb a bit tight (shouldn't have watched King Arthur saying to de-gas), but was delicious and chewy so motivated to go again. Thanks!
Thank you Phil. As always your videos are worth watching. Question please: why is my bread so dense and heavy. Also, along my sourbread journey, I learned that ( for me at least) only bottled water worked when making a starter. So those who gave up on starters, I hope they will use this tip!
Great recipe. I used my homemade starter to make a levain and used that instead of the poolish just to save some time. Baked them this morning and they came out perfect. They look good and taste great.
@@CulinaryExploration Yes I followed your recipe except for using my own starter which somehow I've managed to keep alive for 3 years so far. They were baked at 500 F for around 24 min. They came out with great color and the crust had a lot of crunch. Just the way I like them.
It’s common, except to purists, to add some instant yeast when making sourdough baguettes. I read the French do this, and Peter Reinhardt talks of this. I also do it, as my baguettes come out nice and airy.
I can't wait to try this recipe this week when my children and grandchildren arrive. Will serve with Turducken and the next day with homemade ragu and homemade ravioli!
QUESTION FOR CLARITY: When the Poolish comes out of the first frig proofing, do you let it get to room temperature before adding the main dough ingredients, or do you add those ingredients when the Poolish is cold?
Beautiful Baguettes, the crust looks great and the crumb is just beautiful too. I can smell it from there. Thank you very much for this video :-) François.
Marvellous tutorial indeed👍🏻Baking bread is what I love to do at home. It lifts me up, at least for a while, from what we call the modern world… Well, poolish is resting now for 12 hours. I feel grate^^ Cheers! ATB🤝🍀
Hi ! I love your channel and especially the level of detail your give for your recipes. So helpful for rookie bread bakers! Question: How long should you parbake the baguettes and at what temp if you want to freeze them for later? Thank you!!
Hello Again🖐🏾I will be making your delicious baguette recipe on Thursday. I am happy to report I am now making your Sourdough bread recipe on a regular basis. I share my Sourdough bread with my Elderly neighbors and they just love it. The first sourdough bread I tried to make was a complete disaster but…….I did NOT give up and tried again. The second time was successful and I have been making sourdough bread every since. When I make your baguette recipe I will definitely tag you on IG. Thank You for your time and bread making talents. I truly appreciate YOU. Have a Wonderful Holiday Season my friend. Be Blessed and Be Safe🙏🏾😁🙏🏾 Ms J ~ your friend from Las Vegas, Nevada USA
Awesome! Pleased the recipe was useful. I'm addicted to these, I'm hooked on proper butter, dijon mustard and home cured ham. Did you have yours plain or filled with something?
Had one with a triple cream Brie. We served two with dinner - chicken dish and a caprisi salad. And today I used part of one to make a prosciutto and salami sandwich. I’ll use the rest tomorrow.
Love your bread videos. I have got lots of useful information from them. After watching your video on dehydrating your sourdough starter, I did it, just as you showed in your video. I also re-hydrated that starter about 2 weeks later. It took 2 days, but I was able to make sourdough bread with the re-hydrated starter. The bread came out great. Now I keep a jar of dehydrated sourdough starter for emergency back up, just in case something ever happens to my starter. Thanks again for all the wonderfully informative videos you make and share.
Hello Phillip, love your channel and videos. This recipe indicates 4gr IDY for the final dough , just wanted to verify its the right quantity as it is quite a bit more than other baguette recipes I used, especially as we use a pre ferment . thanks 🙏
Just made this recipe ! totally perfect ! my wife is amazed haha.. one mistake with the score.. cut straight down and come out without an ear.. just an American Football shape on top.
This goes to show that all those time consuming kneading, stretching, and folding may not be necessary to get some nice open crumb baguettes. Thanks for sharing!
I have just found your amazing channel and am going to try again after almost giving up baking bread. You have answered all my questions around d the science of baking, I can’t believe it! One thing, you bake these baguettes at 250 degrees Celsius. Please tell me, is this fan or non fan oven?
Fantastic baguettes, great flavor and pretty easy to make after watching the video. I cook mine at 475f like you suggest, on a 3/8" piece of steel. At 20 minutes though, the bottom is burned and blackened. I don't understand how these can be cooked on steel at those temps for 20 minutes and NOT burn. I've rolled them on a side to finish baking after the 10 minutes steam. Anyone else have this problem?
Your electric oven is probably heating your steel beyond 500F due to the IR from the heating element. Kind of a nifty phenomenon. Try using a pizza stone instead!
@@CulinaryExploration they did not come out good. dough was too wet after taking it out of fridge. Trouble rolling it out. Too dense too. I will try again.
hi there :) thanks for your work, I love baking bread since I have "met" you. One little thing: I don't find the pizza recipe that you've mentioned in the video above. Can you please link it? Thanks a million! Greets from Vienna, AT ^^
Another question. Is there an advantage to using a poolish for baguettes vs using a no knead, overnight fermentation with stretch & folds? The poolish seems to take longer……overnight poolish, then next day spending additional time mixing, fermenting, etc whereas no knead is ready to shape in the morning. TIA, Rob
Today I baked 6 pcs Baguette and it turned out super "terrifying" GOOD ! I had baked baguettes before and this is the first time my baguettes had holes like yours ! So pleased with the outcome. I gave 3 away, ate 1 and now only balanced 2 pcs ! I wished I had baked more and it tasted great too ! Thank you once again for kindly sharing with us your recipes . It is much much appreciated ! Terima kasih / Thank you once again. Stay safe all here.
I think "terrifying" was the first word I saw in this comment lol, now Ive gotten over that shock I can say that I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video! Pleased you managed to get the nice airy crumb! Did you out anything inside the baguette, ham, cheese? (may favourite with these baguettes in butter, dijon mustard and home cured ham
Hello again: made the recipe today. Came out quite well but, question: I did both refrigerated proofs at the extreme time limits, that is to say, approaching the 18 hr mark (due to scheduling and unforeseen events). Using the "touch" method, the dough seemed to need very little couche proofing, 10-15 minutes only. Does that sound right? Texture of the crumb was good though the holes, perhaps, were not as evenly spaced as yours. Respectfully, mac allen
Made the recipe and the result I'd amazing, truly wonderful baguettes. May need to refuce oven temperature as have a fan oven. Really happy for first attempt. Thank you for sharing this and for the tutorial. Best wishes
Bonjour est-ce que vous mettez un bac do dans le four et je voudrais aussi savoir si vous faites cuire les baguettes sur une plaque préchauffé et aussi si vous asperger des baguettes merci de votre réponse je comprends l’anglais mais pas très bien vos baguettes sont fantastiques😘
Hey there. Cheers for your comments! I bake on a baking steel that's pre heated to 250c. I use an ice cube in the bottom of the oven to create some steam. I hope this helps :) Cheers, Philip
I love the way you explain your recipes! I have started making sourdough bread recently and am already in love with the process! I was wondering if I could use my levain in this recipe instead of the poolish or pre-ferment, Thank you in advance for answering my question and sharing your great knowledge about this fascinating baking process!
Hey Carla, in short, yes you can. You may need to tweak your hydration slightly but give it a go and see what the results are like, make adjustments from there. I'd be interested to know how things go :)
@@carlaalmeida9999 I was searching for this topic in the reactions. Want to do the same thing. Will calculate hydration but figuring out proofing times will be the hardest.
@Carla Almeida, Hi, your starter can be anywhere from 15-20% of the flour. So say you’re using 100g starter @ 100% hydration, you need to subtract 50g of flour, 50g water from the original dough. Also, as you know, the timing is different with SD as to working with yeast. It takes longer. I never make a poolish or preferment with yeast as I do long, high hydration doughs, and of course not needed with SD. I try to eliminate extra steps.
Man, I'm so glad I found this channel. You explain everything the best.
I can't understand why your channel doesn't have millions of followers. Your baking skills are truly second to none and I would like to wish you the very best for this year 2023 and beyond. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent.

Tem receita? Adoro esse pão mas ainda não acertei
I love your recipes. Easy to follow (no cups or spoons). Just subscribed.
Cheers Michael :)
Looked great. You made it looks so easy but I know it’s not because I haven’t got mine to look like yours yet.
You'll get there, keep practicing :)
Hello again: made the recipe today. Came out quite well but, question: I did both refrigerated proofs at the extreme time limits, that is to say, approaching the 18 hr mark (due to scheduling and unforeseen events). Using the "touch" method, the dough seemed to need very little couche proofing, 10-15 minutes only. Does that sound right? Texture of the crumb was good though the holes, perhaps, were not as evenly spaced as yours. Respectfully, mac allen
Hello Love this recipe. Three weeks of baking. Could you let us know the pizza recipe you mentioned. Please
Best

I like to use my starter instead of dried yeast. How would you adjust your recipe using starter instead of dry yeast?
Wow that's nice please keepgoing
Just beautiful!
Made the recipe and the result I'd amazing, truly wonderful baguettes. May need to refuce oven temperature as have a fan oven. Really happy for first attempt. Thank you for sharing this and for the tutorial. Best wishes
Cheers for letting us know how you got on! Appreciated :)
How does a steel pan with a chain inside create steam?? Is there also water it in?
Another great video👍very clearly explained!!
Cheers, appreciated :)
Bonjour est-ce que vous mettez un bac do dans le four et je voudrais aussi savoir si vous faites cuire les baguettes sur une plaque préchauffé et aussi si vous asperger des baguettes merci de votre réponse je comprends l’anglais mais pas très bien vos baguettes sont fantastiques😘
Hey there. Cheers for your comments! I bake on a baking steel that's pre heated to 250c. I use an ice cube in the bottom of the oven to create some steam. I hope this helps :) Cheers, Philip
Thank you Philippe🙌
Thank you for this awesome recipe! I tried it out and it came out just perfect :)
I saw your message on instagram, you're welcome :)
@@CulinaryExploration your videos are just awesome! I can’t wait to try them all out :)
looks great! and thank you for providing both grams and cups/tsps etc so I don't need to look every ingredient up!
Cheers Merrily 👍
I love the way you explain your recipes! I have started making sourdough bread recently and am already in love with the process! I was wondering if I could use my levain in this recipe instead of the poolish or pre-ferment, Thank you in advance for answering my question and sharing your great knowledge about this fascinating baking process!
Hey Carla, in short, yes you can. You may need to tweak your hydration slightly but give it a go and see what the results are like, make adjustments from there. I'd be interested to know how things go :)
@@CulinaryExploration Thank you so much for your prompt response. I will certainly give it a try!
@@carlaalmeida9999 I was searching for this topic in the reactions. Want to do the same thing. Will calculate hydration but figuring out proofing times will be the hardest.
@Carla Almeida, Hi, your starter can be anywhere from 15-20% of the flour. So say you’re using 100g starter @ 100% hydration, you need to subtract 50g of flour, 50g water from the original dough. Also, as you know, the timing is different with SD as to working with yeast. It takes longer. I never make a poolish or preferment with yeast as I do long, high hydration doughs, and of course not needed with SD. I try to eliminate extra steps.
@@vdhorstmo see my comments below.
Hi , Can you explain about Steam Process with chain more? I was looking for finding heat-resistant and food-grade chain , where to buy ?
