Dip the top of the dough pieces into rye flour.
Score the dough, we recommend 3-4 long score across the dough.
Allow to final proof for 90 minutes, we recommend covering the baking tray with a plastic foil or cling film to keep the moisture in the dough. If you press your finger in the dough and it comes back halfway it’s ready to bake.
The oven should have a temperature of 230°C when you put the baguettes in then decreasing to 210°C. We recommend putting 2 - 3 ice cubes on the bottom of the oven to get a steaming effect for a nice crust.
