Baguette de Tradition sans Gluten
The French baguette is more than just bread; it is a cultural icon defined by its specific dimensions, textures, and the simplicity of its ingredients. To be considered traditional, it must adhere to a strict balance of a shatter-crisp exterior and a light, aerated interior.Appearance and TextureA classic baguette is instantly recognisable by its long, thin shape and the characteristic grigne—the sharp, diagonal slashes on the top crust that bloom during baking.The Crust: It should be a deep golden-brown, offering a distinct "crackle" when squeezed. This firm exterior provides a toasted, nutty flavour profile.The Crumb: Inside, the bread (the mie) should be pale ivory, soft, and "open," meaning it features large, irregular air bubbles rather than a tight, uniform sponge.The Senses: A fresh baguette carries the sweet, yeasty aroma of fermented dough and a hint of caramelised wheat.
