Oil hands and scrape dough from sides unto a ball.
Cover with a towel and let rise for about ½ an hour until almost doubled.
Punch down dough by lightly patting it, and let rise again for 20 minutes.
Divide equally and shape into 4 baguettes, or 12 baguette buns and place on a baking tray lines with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 230C/450F.
Mix brushing ingredients and brush baguettes.
Let rise for 15 minutes.
