These French baguettes made with yogurt dough are fluffy and tender inside, with a crisp crust. The dough combines semi-coarse wheat flour, plain yogurt, milk, egg yolks, and oil with an activated yeast mixture, then rests in the refrigerator for at least four hours, ideally overnight. Shape the chilled dough into small baguettes, score the tops with a sharp knife, and sprinkle with seeds if desired. Bake at 200°C (400°F).

Granulated sugar 1 tsp
All-purpose flour 1 tbsp
Plain yogurt 400 g

Semi-coarse wheat flour 1.3 kg

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Heat 250 ml of the milk. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, the all-purpose flour, and the fresh yeast, and let stand until foamy.
Sift the flour into another bowl and add the oil, remaining warm milk, egg yolks, yogurt, and activated yeast mixture. Knead into a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Coat the dough all over with oil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Shape the dough into small baguettes on a lightly floured work surface and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Score the tops with a sharp knife in any pattern you like. Sprinkle with seeds if desired.
Let the baguettes rise briefly, then bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F) until golden brown.
Tip: You can also use this dough to make rolled pastries, filled buns, rolls, or crescent rolls.

Tip: For a crispier crust, place a container of hot water on the bottom of the oven or spray the baguettes with water just before baking.
