King Arthur Flour has a great recipe for Baguettes on their site. I use their recipe frequently. I spritz with water, just before baking, instead of a pan of water in the oven - delicious crunchy chewy crust.
I don’t have baguette pans, but I lay them on a sheet pan with parchment paper for the last rise and they come out fine. I make 4 out of the recipe below. It calls for three but they come out better for me making four.

Has your name on it. Grin. Add it to your cart and next time you get something from Amazon... free shipping.
I prefer making sourdough boules, but good baguettes are so tasty.
I love most of the recipes I’ve tried at the King Arthur site. The hamburger/hotdog buns turn out well.
I’ll have to try the baguette recipe.
I really appreciate your tip about a far easier way to spray. And also for King Arthur's recipes. I've gotten other recipes from them and saved them (their easier puff pastry made with sour cream in a food processor). I'd order other items for them but their shipping is terrible.
They have much more to choose from than the supermarket.
