French Baguette

Recipe

We are not going to give you a recipe of French bread! You see, Dutch baguettes are less light (could that be because of our national character?) and they don't come with the same crispy crust.
Dutch flour is different, as is our way of baking. Bakers who want the same result as their French colleagues have to go to France to learn the trick of the trade.
A real ¨French¨ should be baked on the stone floor of the oven and not in a hot-air oven. The weak dough will get a gigantic impulse in this French way of baking. This causes the top of the French stick to burst open and the characteristic crust is formed.

Finally

To round off their activities the Arnhem participants of the SoLiLL project will organise a second pot-luck party. Everybody will take care of one part of the buffet. Without doubt one of them will show up with more than one ¨French baguette¨.
