No Knead Baguette

In our home we are not much of the bread, not because we do not like it but we just agreed to somewhat reduce the consumption of certain carbohydrates, removing from our usual diet this divine creature, the BREAD.
As a family with French references we could not say no to a fluffy, freshly baked baguette and thus give us the opportunity to encroach the terms of the agreement.
So we made Baguettes with a lazy process and unique garnish to remind us of Greece but also the Mediterranean, have oil & salt, olives & tomatoes, garlic & pepper and fragrant, much smell, like when you cross the dawn of the neighborhood bakery and take the smell of hot bread just came out. Thus they were born, inflated and baked four small baguettes, effortlessly, without kneading!
We exercised maximum restraint and character not to consume instantly. They lasted two days and the second day they were equally delicious, fluffy, delicious and very fresh. There was not third day to tell you how it was… Make them, you will not regret.
