What is French Bread?
French bread is a type of long, thin loaf that has been shaped into the usual baguette.
It's named for its country of origin - France!
French bakers would often use this dough to create longer and thinner loaves than their Italian counterparts because it takes less yeast (or more time).
The results are soft yet chewy crusts along side moist centers making them perfect alternatives to white flours based loaves found at your local grocery store.
