5-Minute French Bread

1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast (1 pkg) 
1 tsp. salt
3 cups flour 

Stir all ingredients together in a large Tupperware.  Dough should look too wet and slack.  Cover (not airtight).  Leave at room temperature for about 2 hours or until doubled.  Place in fridge.  Leave in fridge until ready to use (up to 2 weeks).   

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Remove dough from fridge, dump out onto a floured counter, and cut into two pieces.  Shape into two logs by folding the dough towards the middle a couple of times.  Then roll into a log shape.  Place baguettes on greased cookie sheet.  Cover with a towel and leave for 20 minutes.  Slash tops of loaves a couple of times each.  Spray dough and oven with water.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until well-browned.  Cool completely on wire racks. 

Makes 2 baguettes.
