There are few pleasures as simple or sublime as tearing into a crusty French baguette. Baguettes are loved for their graceful form and their shatteringly crisp crust. Served whole, they are a wonderful companion for any main dish. Sliced, they make an elegant presentation on a cheese plate or as crostini. Baguettes are a little more difficult to form than your average loaf, but after practicing these techniques, you will be able to shape baguettes like a true boulanger.
