🧂 Ingredients

3 cups (410 grams) all-purpose flour

(or bread flour)
1 tsp (200 grams) room-temperature water
1 tsp (4 grams) instant yeast
1 tsp (7 grams) salt
1 tsp (5 grams) sugar

Instructions

1 Knead the dough: In the bowl of stand mixer, add water, flour, salt, sugar and
yeast. Attach the dough hook, turn on the mixer and knead the dough on low speed
for 6 minutes, then increase to medium speed and knead for another 6 minutes.
(the dough should be dry at this stage).
2 Roll the dough into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes. Next, divide the ball
into 6 equal pieces and let it rest for another 15 minutes to make it easier to
shape.
3 Shape the ficelle: shape each ball into a ficelle shape, about 17 inch longer
(45cm) (See above for how to shape a ficelle step-by-step). Place the dough on a
baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (If your baking sheet is only 18 inches
long or less, you can use two baking sheets and place the ficelle dough at a
45-degree angle).
4 Rise: Put a bowl filled with boiling water in the bottom of the oven to create a
warm, humid environment. Then, place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the
dough to rise for one hour. (80 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) is best
for the dough to rise).
5 Remove your baking sheet and let the boiling water. Preheat your oven at 440
degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
6 Score the ficelle dough with a sharp knife and spray them with water.
7 Bake the ficelle: Remove the bowl of the boiling water and place the baking
sheet in the oven. Bake the ficelle for 15 minutes or until golden brown on the
top. When they are hot, spray them with water.
