Green Tea Baguette 绿茶法国面包

Ever since I started baking baguettes, I’ve completely stopped buying them from stores. There’s just something so satisfying about homemade baguettes fresh from the oven!
After making my charcoal baguette and plain baguette, this time I decided to try something a little different... a Green Tea Baguette!
Just look at that beautiful green colour… isn’t it lovely? :) The subtle aroma of green tea makes these baguettes extra special, and they’re just as crispy on the outside and soft inside as the classic version.

It tastes really good! I can eat it plain, just like this...

My 7yo son likes it with cheese and baby spinach.
This is the only way my son eat RAW spinach :D 

I normally toast the baguette before serve but this time, my 7yo prepared breakfast.
The little chef said no need to toast because it already tastes so good! :D 

Ingredients: Yield 4 medium baguettes

500g Baguette Flour 

1 tsp Salt

10g Castor Sugar

1.5 tsp Instant Yeast

370g Water (adjust accordingly)

2 tsp Green Tea Powder (for baking)

3 tbsp Oil

Method:

1. In a stand mixer, mix all dry ingredients. (Kitchenaid speed 1)

2. Mix in water (Speed 1). Knead for 25 minutes (Speed 2). Gradually add in oil. Knead another 5 minutes until the dough is glossy and elastic. 

3. Cover with cling wrap. Let it proof for 60 minutes or doubled in size.

4. Transfer to a floured work top. The dough is very sticky, make sure to use generous amount of flour to handle the dough.

5. Divide dough into 4 portions. Shape the dough into baguette. Place on a lined baking tray. I don't have baguette tray, so I used aluminium foil to divide the baguette. 

6. Cover with cling wrap. Let it proof for 30minutes. 

7. Bake in a preheated oven 200'C for 20 minutes. When it's ready, transfer to the rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!  If you like my recipe, click here, follow my facebook page to receive more recipe updates. Don't forget to favourite my pages if you wish to see my post on your news feed.
