Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 2.4 oz
Oat flakes - 2.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Add the yeast and wheat sourdough to the water. Whisk together and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Add the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for three minutes, then pour in the vegetable oil. Continue mixing for another four minutes until the mixture is smooth and elastic.

Step 2

Place the dough in a bowl that has been greased with vegetable oil, and cover it with plastic wrap. After forty-five minutes, remove the wrap and let it rise for another hour and a half.

Step 3

Place the dough on a work surface that has been greased with oil. Divide it into portions of 70 grams each. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest on the surface for fifteen minutes. Shape into small baguettes. Arrange them in a deep baking tray lined with a silicone mat and let them rest for one hour.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 410°F. Before baking, mist the baguettes with water and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes, and during the first five minutes, spray the oven walls with water three times using a spray bottle. Allow to cool before serving.
