Baguette is a type of long and thin bread, characterized by its crispy crust and soft, spongy interior. Originating from France, the baguette has become an icon of French baking and is highly valued in international cuisine for its versatility and neutral flavor, making it ideal to accompany all types of dishes.
The preparation of the baguette traditionally includes simple ingredients such as wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, making it a relatively low-fat bread with a moderate energy contribution from its carbohydrates. Its golden and crispy crust achieves a perfect contrast with its light, airy interior, making it ideal for spreading, making sandwiches, or accompanying soups and salads.
In Latin America, although the term baguette is commonly used in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, it is also known by other regional names such as pan francés, pan flauta, or simply flauta. However, the style and texture may vary slightly depending on the region.
In cooking, the baguette is perfect for preparing bruschettas, cold or hot sandwiches, and is a classic accompaniment for cheeses and pâtés, as well as for dipping in oils or broths.
