Homemade Baguette with Ricotta Cheese Spread with Pear and Nuts
Staying at home, cooking and baking 4

Bread, as one of the oldest and most important basic foodstuffs, has been an integral part of human history since man-hunter began to cultivate land. Bread settled in sayings, songs, quotes, and folk wisdom, which only proves how deep people respect it.

During this strange period, many bake bread at home, so I chose one of my tested recipes for a homemade baguette. As a bonus, I added a tasty spread and a Russian proverb: First, thank God for bread, then ask him for cake.

Homemade Baguette

We need:

50 g cooked potatoes

500 g flour

15 g of salt

7 g of dried yeast

4 tablespoons of olive oil

Method:

Grate the cooked potatoes, mix with flour, salt, yeast and oil, add 225 ml of lukewarm water and make a smooth dough. Left to rise for about 80 minutes in a warm place. Divide the dough into two parts and form two elongated baguettes. Make several skew cuts, sprinkle with flour and leave to rise for another 50 minutes. Bake in the oven preheated to 230°C for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 20 minutes.

1 ripe pear
