What bread machine program should I use for these vegan baguettes?

This recipe specifically calls for the multi-sweet-bread shaper program (14) on your bread machine to prepare the dough.

How do I shape the dough into baguettes after the bread machine finishes?

After the machine signals, sprinkle flour on your work surface, coat your hands with olive oil, divide the dough into four lumps, and then roll each lump with your hands to form the baguette shape.

Can I add fillings to these vegan French Baguettes?

Yes, if you wish to add fillings like vegan cheese, flatten each dough lump after dividing, place your desired filling inside, and then roll it into a baguette.

What is spelt leaven and why is it used in this recipe?

Spelt leaven is a sourdough starter made with spelt flour, and in this recipe, it contributes to the unique flavor and texture of the vegan French Baguettes.

How long should I bake the baguettes after they come out of the bread machine?

Once the bread machine program ends, transfer your shaped baguettes to a baking tray and bake them for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden crust.

How to Prepare French Baguettes [Vegan]

Place everything in the bread machine in the order given.
Start the multi-sweet-bread shaper program (14)* and wait.
When the dough is ready the machine plays a sound, meaning it’s your time.
Sprinkle some flour on the work surface.
Coat your hands with olive oil, take the dough and divide it to 4 lumps with a knife.
Roll the dough with your hands shaping it into a baguette.
If you want to add something (like cheese) flatten each dough lump, place the cheese and roll into a baguette.
Place your creation in the baking tray and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Put the baking tray back in the machine and press the start button.
When the program ends, bake for another 10 minutes and enjoy your baguettes!

Notes

The first time I made the baguettes I used the multi-bread shaper program (13 if you have a Philips bread maker), but the baking process is too long with it, I believe 60 minutes or so and the bread became too crispy. Since then I use the sweet-bread program (14), the baking time is 35 minutes and it needs additional 10 minutes for a perfect baguette.
