French breads
Crusty European staples
French breads are loaves made in styles originating in France, characterized by crisp crusts and chewy interiors.
The most iconic is the baguette—a long, slender loaf with a distinctive crackly exterior.
Other varieties include boules (round loaves), batards (shorter than baguettes), and ficelles (thin breadsticks).
French bread typically uses only flour, water, salt, and yeast, relying on technique rather than enrichments like butter or eggs for its texture and flavor.
