WW Baguette recipes without starters

Hello everyone,

We have a 16 month old and just discovered he LOVES baguettes.  The whole crusty outside, chewy inside thing I suppose it is.

We eat only WW flour with a little BF thrown in there some times and it is mostly WW multi grain bread we make and ciabatta with the recipes from this site.  I wanted to try and make a whole wheat baguette recipe by just taking my regular WW multi grain reacipe and stretching them out or even the ciabatta recipe with mostly WW flour and maybe 1/3rd BF and pull that out into a long baguette shape, let it rise on parchment before flipping it and throwing it in the oven and just have a very long skinny ciabatta loaf basically shaped like a baguette.  Is this doable?

Does anyone have a proper WW recipe without going through all the starter as I have determined that I am a starter free zone after all these years with starters being way too much pre planning and the like and prefer just throwing some yeast in warm water and letting it do its thing.  I am going to have a bash at a ciabatta baguette just to see if it works but if someone has a great WW recipe for a baguette that turns out nice and crunchy on the outside I would love to try something new!

Thanks everyone!  Awesome forum!
