I ate the best of French baguettes in France and New Caledonia. French baguettes beats all l ever tasted. The French bakeries have the best bakers technique for this recipe which leads to perfection.
Each time you try your home baguette expect an improvement. The more you bake the better it gets. As we say in English “prectice makes perfect.
Some people prefer their baguette crusty and some prefer it soft .
