Traditional baguettes by hand

Step 6 Baking

Bake your loaves at 450 for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are a rich golden brown. (Times may vary due to oven temperature variances.)
For a crunchier, thicker crust, spritz your oven with a few squirts ofwater just before you add the bread, or place an oven safe bowl of hot water in the rack below the bread.
When done, remove to racks and let cool.

Do you bake with a cookie sheet thing or just on the grills?

I use a heavy jellyroll type baking sheet, and preheat it at the same time that I preheat the oven.
