In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine all the ingredients.

Cover the bowl with a light towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size, depending on room temperature. If it's cold, the process will take longer.

Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.

Roll each piece of dough into a rectangle, making it as long as you want your baguette. Fold the bottom edge up toward the center, then fold the top edge down toward the center as well.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge and pinch together with your fingers to seal. Place the sealed side down.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a brush.
Place the baguettes on the baking sheet and cover with a light towel. Let them rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C).
Using a very sharp knife, make a few slashes along the top of each loaf. Let them rest for 30 minutes.

Place a pan with a little boiling water inside the oven to create steam while the bread bakes.

Bake the baguettes for about 30 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let them cool completely before slicing.
