Baguette

A baguette is a long, thin loaf of French bread known for its crispy crust and soft, airy interior. Traditionally made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, it has become a symbol of French culture and cuisine. Baguettes are often enjoyed fresh, sliced, or used for sandwiches. They are typically about 65 centimeters long and have a distinctive golden-brown crust with slashes on top, which help with even baking. The baguette is celebrated for its flavor and texture and is commonly found in bakeries and restaurants around the world.
