Every nation is unique and has characteristics that are part of their cultural identity. France is full of examples that are typical of there and make this country becomes internationally known through this way to be so french.If you are walking through the streets in France, certainly you will come across the charming bakeries called "boulangeries" that sell the famous French baguettes.
Mmmmmmmmm how can we describe a baguette? Its crust is appetisingly golden and crunchy, and the bread inside is light and fluffy.
And what about the ingredients? Is there any magic potion?The traditional baguette is internationally renowned but its ingredients are simplicity itself: wheat flour, water, yeast or and salt.Unbelievable!!!!Making a good baguette,symbol of French national pride, needs time. It must be kneaded, fermented, divided up into rolls, allowed to rest then shaped, until finally the famous slits can be made by the baker prior to baking.
Every year , there is a competition for the best baguette in Paris called" Grand Prix de la Baguette de Paris" In this year,2015,Djibril Bodian of Le Grenier à Pain Abbesses won the first prize . This baker became the official supplier to the Élysée Palace, residence of the French Head of State, for this year.
It's hard to resist a baguette!!!!! Mnnnnnnn you can eat with different kind of french cheese!!!!! Amazinggggggggg!!!!!
