Baguettes are this long stick breads that originate from France. It has this rustic crusty exterior look (some people call it rustic bread) that made it perfect for dipping in soups and goes well with cheeses and herbs butter. It’s not like the normal soft bread so don’t expect it to look like one. #jigawastate #Ramadanrecipecontest
