On lightly floured surface, punch dough down
several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide
dough in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch long
loaf. Place each loaf on greased baking sheet or in
greased baguette pans. With sharp knife, make 3 to
4 shallow diagonal slices in top of dough. Beat egg
and 1 teaspoon water together with a fork. Brush
each baguette with egg mixture. Cover with
greased plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place, free
from draft, about 1 to 1
bulk.
Brush top of each baguette again with egg mixture.
Bake at 450°F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until deep
golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire
racks.
Yield: 36 servings (18 slices per loaf).
Tip: Freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw at room
temperature. Wrap loosely with foil. Heat at
