French baguettes

French baguettes are a type of long and thin bread, characterized by their crispy crust and light, airy crumb. Originating from France, baguettes have become an iconic symbol of French baking and enjoy great popularity worldwide due to their versatility and flavor.

This bread is traditionally made with simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. Its fermentation and baking process contributes to its unique texture, making it ideal for preparing sandwiches, accompanying dishes, or simply enjoying with butter or cheeses.

Properties: The baguette is a source of complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. As it is made with white flour, it has a moderate fiber content and is low in fats and sugars. Due to its size and shape, it is ideal for individual portions or for sharing at gatherings.

Synonyms in Latin America: although the term "baguette" is widely recognized, in some regions it may be called pan francés or simply French baguette. In certain countries, due to its shape and texture, it is also compared to the pan francés used in the preparation of sandwiches and snacks.
