French Baguettes

Ingredients 4 Baguettes
water 2/3 cup + 1 Tbs.
salt 1 tsp.
white flour 1 3/4 cups
yeast (active dry, quick-rise or bread machine) 1 tsp.

Add the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. Place the bread pan in the machine.
Select Program #9 and the desired crust color. Press the On/Off button. At the end of the cycle, when you hear the beep, open the machine and take out the dough. Divide it into 4 equal parts and shape the baguettes. Brush them lightly with water. Place them on the special baguette cooking pan and make several deep cuts in them with the finishing blade or a sharp knife. Place the baguette cooking rack back into the machine in place of the bread pan. Press the On/Off button to resume baking. At the end of the program, remove the baguette rack, remove the baguettes and cool thoroughly.
