baguette

Overview

This is my first time trying French baguette, and I especially like its crispy and chewy texture. There are only four ingredients, flour, salt, yeast and water. The simple ingredients make it very fragrant and rich in flavor. The next day, I slice the baguette and bake garlic bread slices. It is a quick and delicious breakfast that can be prepared in ten minutes. This is a good choice for us office workers, especially those who have to get up early to make breakfast and send their children to school.
