Fructose Free Classic French Baguettes

Few things in the kitchen feel as satisfying as pulling a batch of golden, crackling baguettes from your own oven. The ingredient list here is refreshingly short — just yeast, water, bread flour, and sea salt — which is exactly what makes this recipe such a natural fit for anyone avoiding fructose. There are no sweeteners, no honey, no fruit-derived additives, and no hidden sugars that often sneak into store-bought loaves or commercial bread mixes. The overnight poolish does the heavy lifting flavor-wise, developing a deep, complex tang through fermentation rather than anything added. A burst of steam in the oven creates that signature blistered crust, while the crumb inside stays open and chewy in the best possible way. The process takes patience across a full day, but most of that time is hands-off resting and proofing — the dough practically builds itself. Once you hear that hollow knock on the bottom of a freshly baked loaf, you'll understand why this method is worth every hour.
