3. Fold the dough upwards using a spatula or dough scraper 8-10 times until it looks like a ball.
4. Cover and rest the dough for 1 hour.
5. Decompress the dough with a floured hand and place the dough in a log shape on a well floured surface. Cut into 8 equalish size pieces.
6. Add parchment paper to a large oven dish, optionally rubbing a bit of butter on the paper for flavour and extra crunch.
7. With floured hands flatten each piece. Fold over 1 third then the other third over it. Fold half upwards and press down. Pull up the last half and pinch it to seal it up. Gently roll it out into a baguette shape.
8. Place them on your tray. Cover and rest for 30 minutes while your oven heats up to 240C.
9. Add a dish with some water in the bottom to heat up with the oven and create steam.
