The dough is typically made with flour, water, yeast, and salt, allowing the natural flavors of the bread to shine through. Its substantial size makes it suitable for sharing at meals or events.

To enjoy this baguette at its best, you can warm it slightly in the oven for a few minutes to enhance its crusty texture. It is perfect for slicing and serving alongside meals, or as the base for various appetizers. For sandwiches, slice it lengthwise and fill with your favorite ingredients. It can also be cut into smaller pieces for dipping into sauces or spreads. The long shape allows for generous portions for everyone at the table.

Compared to a standard baguette, this demi-baguette is larger in length, offering more bread per loaf. Its crust is typically well-developed and crackly, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite, while the inside remains tender and slightly chewy.

How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining baguette fresh, store it at room temperature in a paper bag or a bread box. Avoid plastic bags, as they can make the crust soggy. For longer storage, you can slice the baguette and freeze it, then reheat slices in the oven.
