White Wheat Baguette

This bread has a crunchy, crispy crust with a dense chewy interior.

Makes one baguette, about 12 ounces.

2-1/4

teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

1/2

cup whole wheat flour

1/4

teaspoon granulated sugar

3/4

teaspoon salt

3

tablespoons warm (110° F) water

1/2

cup cold lowfat milk

1

cup bread or all-purpose flour

3

teaspoons flour for dusting, divided

Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup with pour spout.Let stand until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Place both flours and salt in work bowl fitted with metal blade, process 10 seconds to combine. Add cold milk to foamy yeast mixture and stir to blend with a fork. With the machine running, add the liquid in a steady stream, as fast as he flour absorbs it. Process until dough forms a ball, then process 45 seconds longer to knead dough. (If too dry, add cold water, one teaspoon at a time, processing 10 seconds after each addition. If too wet/sticky, add bread/all-purpose flour one table- spoon at a time, processing 10 seconds after each addition.) Remove dough, shape into a ball, and dust lightly with 1 teaspoon of flour. Place in a resealable 1-quart food storage bag, press out air, and seal tightly. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot, until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down to deflate; let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, the roll up from the long side jelly-roll style. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Roll to length of about 12 to 14 inches. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and dust loaf lightly with remaining flour. Cover loosely with a sheet of plastic wrap that has been coated lightly with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot, until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

About 15 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 425° F. Use a serrated knife to make 4 diagonal slits about 1/4-inch deep across the loaf. Place in oven and bake until browned and crusty, about 20 to 25 minutes. Bread will sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to a rack to cool. For best results, allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.
