Mix sugar, flour, salt, and yeast with a wooden spoon.
Add in water and mix to combine. It should look like a loose and sticky bread dough. If the dough doesn't look very wet, add in a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it does.
Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
Stretch and fold it on itself in the bowl (I use a spatula), cover and rest again for 60 minutes.
When it has risen a lot and bubbling, very gently turn out onto a generously floured surface.
The dough will be very wet, so be generous with flouring the surface, your hands, and the bench scraper.
Cut in three with a bench scraper.
Twist the dough, stretching gently lengthwise as you do, so it almost fills the baguette tray.
Place each loaf in the baguette trays.
