Baguette blade insert

Baguette fresh from the bakery is good, a baguette kneaded by yourself and baked in your own oven is better. The baguette blade insert is perfect for use with the handmade wooden baker's knives.

Baguette blade insert - application

This blade insert is suitable for right-handers. To use it for left-handers as well, simply bend the top part of the metal to the other side. The insert can then be used by left-handers.

The appropriate cutting technique varies greatly from bread dough to bread dough. How a bread should be cut is determined by many different factors such as the amount of liquid and flour, the intensity and timing of kneading, the baking process, and of course the desired appearance. Always pay attention to the remarks in the instructions, most bread recipes indicate which cut corresponds to the bread.

For example, if you want to bake a nice round baguette that is not very ripped, a curved blade is perfect. To do this, slightly unscrew the two screws of the baker's knife so that a small gap is created. Slide the insert in and tighten the screws again. Now the blade can be bent slightly and placed on the metal insert using the top and bottom slots so that the bend of the blade matches the bend of the insert. You already have a curved blade for your baguette. You can find an instruction video on how to insert the blade here .

Hold the knife slightly off to the side over the fully proofed baguette dough pieces. Now cut diagonals as parallel as possible, the dough should be superficially cut the skin. The cut dough flaps lay flat again on the baguette and cover the cut a little. Only when baking they tear up nicely and remain so nice and smooth.

The blade can also be used with the baguette insert straight. To do this, insert the blade so that the blade does not mimic the bend of the insert. So easily you can refine noble breads with different cutting techniques.
