Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Heat the water to a temperature slightly above room temperature. Grate 100 g of cheese on a coarse grater and 50 g on a medium grater. Prepare baking parchment paper, cling film and a kitchen towel. A few minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Tip: when baking baguettes, use premium flour and proven yeast.
Prepare the dough. Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Make a small well in the mixture and pour in water. Knead into a soft and slightly sticky dough. When the water is completely combined with the flour, add 50 g of cheese and mix. Transfer the dough into a container greased with sunflower oil. Cover it with cling film, cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour. Then punch down the dough and cover with film again. Leave for about 40 minutes more.
Prepare baguettes for baking. Place the finished dough on a floured work surface and divide it into three equal parts. Form three bars and place them 4cm apart on parchment paper. Bend the paper like an accordion between the future baguettes so that the dough does not spread. Cover with a damp towel for 10 minutes.
Bake the baguettes. Sprinkle the pieces with the remaining grated cheese. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes until golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on oven power.
French Parmesan baguette can be served at the beginning of any meal. And if it has not yet cooled down, then a piece of butter will be very useful.
