Baguettes are one of the most traditional baguettes. Excellent baguettes not only have a crunchy skin, but also a soft and tough inside. You can eat it directly, dip it in soup or make it into a sandwich.
I didn't like it when I first ate the baguette, and when I ate the first piece of my hand, I fell in love with it so much , but the inside was very chewy and full of rich wheat flavor , oil-free and sugar-free , low-calorie , the more you chew, the more fragrant! When I came out, I heard the baguette crackling and singing.
