About Baguette bread

Baguette bread is a long, thin loaf originating from France, deeply embedded in French cuisine and culture. Known for its crispy crust and soft interior, it is typically made from four primary ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt. Nutritionally, a standard baguette is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. It is low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, making it a staple food in moderation for various diets. However, it lacks significant quantities of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals unless fortified.
