Tools I Used:

Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/3N8ZPUi (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)

Alternative pan:
* https://amzn.to/49UyaOo – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* https://amzn.to/4gnx6Fb – same as the previous pan.

* https://amzn.to/45EnuSO – “flour sifter” a.k.a. tea strainer
* https://amzn.to/4qCUXVM – my favorite bread lame

These classic French baguettes have a golden, crispy crust that’s super flaky and an interior that’s soft with very nice air pockets. They slice perfectly for sandwiches, taste amazing with butter, or you can just tear them apart and eat them warm.
