How to make baguette bread?

Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
3. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Shape the dough into a baguette, place it on a floured baking sheet, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Make diagonal cuts on the surface of the baguette and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
