Crush the vitamin C tablet in a pestle and mortar into a fine powder. Then mix all “the dry ingredients” together in a mixing bowl or electric dough mixer bowl. Place into the mixer and switch on at a low speed to mix the dry ingredients evenly. Gradually add the liquid into the mixer until all the flour has absorbed the water. Once the dough has formed into more of a ball, turn the mixer up to a medium speed and allow to knead for 2 minutes. After this, the dough should be smooth and tacky in texture. Switch the mixer off and remove from the bowl onto a work surface. Knead by hand with a little flour if needed for a minute or so. Then place back into the mixing bowl, rub ½ tbsp oil around the ball of dough and cover with a damp cloth or cling film. Sit in a warm place for 45 mins - 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once doubled in size, you may either knock it back by kneading once more, and then allow to rest again, or you can shape the dough straight away and allow it to double in size again in it’s baguette shapes.
