    Try tossing a couple of ice cubes into the bottom of the oven when you begin to bake the baguettes. It provides some moisture to make the crust more authentic; but it’s a self-limiting amount.
    We appreciate your light-hearted video in light of the serious subject!

    You should let the shaped batons rise to about half their size again before putting them in the oven. Then slash. Then bake. The oven should have a tray of water inside to help create the crust. Also spraying with water during baking gives even more of a crunchy crust.

    You need to shape and do a final proof. That will help keep your loaves from being so dense. Also try eggwash before slashing to help give it a golden color. Water/ice to the oven for crispy crust.
