Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Total time: 45-50 minutes
Number of servings: 10 baguettes

Ingredients:

- 450 ml lukewarm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 760 g wheat flour (preferably type 650 or 000 for a finer texture)
- 2 ½ teaspoons dry yeast
- 1 egg + 1 egg for brushing
- 200 g cheese (feta or cottage cheese, depending on preference)
- 100 g olives (black or green, pitted)
- 50 g sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 100 g sausages (diced)
- 2-3 tablespoons poppy seeds for decoration

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the dough: Start by adding the wet ingredients to the bread machine: lukewarm water, olive oil, and egg. Then, add salt and flour. Finally, sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour. Select the dough program and let the machine do its job. If you don’t have a bread machine, you can prepare the dough manually by mixing the ingredients in a large bowl and then kneading it on a clean surface for about 10-15 minutes.

2. Preparing the fillings: While the dough is kneading, I recommend preparing the filling. In a bowl, combine the crumbled cheese, chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and diced sausages. Mix well to achieve a homogeneous composition. Here you can also add spices to taste, such as pepper or oregano, for an extra flavor.

3. Shaping the baguettes: Once the dough has risen and is fluffy, remove it from the bread machine and place it on a floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Take one portion of dough and, using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle. Place a spoonful of the prepared filling on one side of the dough, leaving the edge free. Roll the dough tightly, sealing the edges to prevent the filling from leaking.

4. Baking the baguettes: Place the baguettes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the second egg in a bowl and brush each baguette with a kitchen brush. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top for added texture and an attractive appearance. Let the baguettes rise for 15 minutes.

5. Putting in the oven: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Bake the baguettes for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Don’t forget to check them in the last few minutes to avoid burning.

6. Serving: Once the baguettes are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve them warm, alongside a fresh salad or with a cup of fragrant tea. These baguettes are perfect for a hearty breakfast or as a snack during the day.

Practical tips:

- Flour: Using high-quality flour will make a difference in the texture of the baguettes. Type 650 or 000 flour is ideal for a fluffy, soft dough.
- Yeast: Make sure the yeast is fresh. If you use fresh yeast, use about 20 g.
- Varied fillings: Experiment with different fillings! You can add vegetables, such as green olives, peppers, or even mushrooms to diversify the recipe.
- Storage: If you have leftover baguettes, you can keep them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. You can reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.

Nutritional benefits: These baguettes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats due to the cheese and olive oil. Olives provide antioxidants, and sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can substitute feta cheese with mozzarella or any other type you prefer.
- Can I make the dough with whole wheat flour? Yes, but you may need more water, as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
- What drinks pair well with the baguettes? These baguettes pair perfectly with green tea or a fresh fruit smoothie.

This breakfast baguette recipe is not only simple but also full of love and beautiful memories. Try it and bring a touch of magic to every morning!
