Definitely check the temperature. You might find that the stated temp and actual temp with the thermometer may be off - perhaps quite significantly. You can check your oven instruction manual on how to adjust the temperature to bring them in line or else rely on the thermometer for baking.

But baguette texture is a protein/gluten issue. AP doesn’t have the protein levels for getting the texture right. Food Network’s version mixes AP with cake flour. They also use a pizza stone to get the crust going.
