Baguette is the most traditional French bread. Its name means "long jewel". It is one of the traditional French staples and one of the oldest breads. Traditional baguettes are made using only water, yeast, salt and flour.

In 2022, UNESCO decided to inscribe French baguettes on the United Nations Intangible Cultural Heritage list. But the baguette is also undergoing a huge existential crisis!

Nowadays, the French are starting to prefer half-cooked baguettes and no longer favor the cooked traditional baguette. This is a big disappointment for bakers, who agree that a fully cooked baguette is the best baguette.

For many French children, going to buy a baguette alone for the first time with money from an adult is a small rite of passage.
