Baguettes

Buying Tips

Buy baguettes in the bakery section of most natural food and grocery stores. Choose the whole-grain variety whenever possible.

Varieties

Baguettes are available in whole-wheat or traditional white versions. Demi-baguettes and ficelle are smaller versions of the classic long bread.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Wrap whole baguettes in foil, heat, and serve warm with butter or olive oil; slice baguettes partway through into 2-inch (5-cm) segments and sprinkle garlic, butter, and fresh rosemary into the slits.

Storing

Store in a paper or plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a day.
