6) After 5 minutes, take the bowl out and continue kneading dough, using a bench scrapper first if dough is still sticky, then by your hands until dough is not sticky and you can perform a membrane test (your stretch the dough little by little and the dough is not tearing apart)

10) Cut dough out into 13-oz pieces, and start rounding / preforming, seam size up, spray, cover with plastic wrap and put dough back to proof box for another 15-20 minutes to relax the gluten
11) Final shaping the dough, roll each piece out to be as long as the baguette pan, spray pan and put dough on, seam size down
12) Proof final-shaped dough in the proof box for another 20-30 minutes to maintain good shape.
13) Slashing dough with a razor or pairing knife (5 slashes for each baguette)
