  2. Shape the risen dough into baguettes and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
  4. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.

Notes

Serve your bánh mì fresh and warm right after you fill it. You can cut it in half or enjoy it whole. It pairs well with a side of Vietnamese iced coffee or fresh spring rolls. Store bánh mì in a paper bag at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze the unbaked dough for longer storage.
