  • STEP 6.Bake the baguettes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • STEP 7.Remove the baguettes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
  • STEP 8.Store the baguettes in a paper bag or bread box to maintain their freshness. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Cooking Tips

  • For a lighter texture, you can use a combination of whole wheat flour and bread flour.
  • To achieve a crispier crust, you can spray water onto the baguettes before baking.
  • If you prefer a softer crust, you can brush the baguettes with melted butter or olive oil before baking.

Storage and Serving

  • Whole wheat baguettes are best served fresh, but you can also slice and freeze them for later use.
  • To serve, you can slice the baguettes and use them for sandwiches, bruschetta, or as a side for soups and stews.
  • To reheat frozen baguettes, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
