  5. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand 20 minutes or until sponge is frothy.

  13. Punch down dough and divide in half.
  14. On a lightly floured surface roll half of dough into a 17" x 6" rectangle. Starting from long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion.Tuck ends under to form a loaf (about 16" x 2 ¼ ").
  15. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat process with second half of dough.
  16. Place baguettes 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
  17. Cover loaves and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hour).
  18. In a small cup stir together ¼ cup cool water and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
  19. Gently brush over loaves. Make several slashes over top of each loaf with a sharp knife.
  20. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  21. Remove loaves from pan to wire rack and cool.
