Low Fiber Crusty French Baguette

Few things in the kitchen feel as satisfying as pulling a deeply golden, crackling baguette from your own oven. This recipe uses just four ingredients — bread flour, sea salt, instant yeast, and water — which makes it a naturally clean choice when you're keeping your diet simple and low in fiber-heavy or high-residue foods. Refined bread flour is the key here, producing a soft, open crumb without the bran or whole grain content that can be harder on a sensitive digestive system. The long, slow cold ferment does most of the heavy lifting overnight, developing rich flavor without any complicated add-ins or mix-ins to worry about. A little steam in the oven gives you that signature shatteringly crisp crust with a tender, pillowy interior that's easy to enjoy in moderate portions. Whether you're pairing it with a smooth soup or just eating it plain with a little butter, this is the kind of homemade bread that feels like a genuine treat without straying from what your body needs right now.
