A total of 30 million baguettes are eaten in France each day. At least that is what the French claim. There, only bakeries that bake fresh bread every day are allowed to call themselves a “Boulangerie”, which might explain the high quality of baguettes throughout the country. What’s more, the French bread law specifies set rules for baking baguette: The only ingredients allowed are flour, salt, water and yeast. According to law, a baguette must also weigh between 250-300 grams and have a length of 55-65 centimeters. It needs to be soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside. In this episode of Food Secrets, we let you in on what makes France’s most famous bread so special, where it originated from, and what cultural significance it has to the French.
