Baguettes - Divide and Preshape

Sprinkle some rice flour onto your clean work surface. Use the flexible plastic scraper to ease the dough out of the bowl. Use the bench scraper to divide the dough into 3 portions of 400g each.

With a wet hand and the bench scraper, preshape each portion into an oval, using swift movements with the scraper and tucking the dough underneath itself with your fingertips. Let the dough rest uncovered for 30 minutes.
