Baguette

A long, thin loaf of wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, baked so the crust crackles and the crumb stays open and irregular.

Origin

The standard French everyday loaf.

Flavour

The crust is toasty. The crumb is mild and slightly sweet.

How to use it

Eat it the day it is baked. Day-old baguette is for crumbs, toast, and puddings.

Storage

A paper bag for a few hours. It stales fast. Freeze it if you need it to last.
