    I know nothing about bread, explain why this is bad. I need to learn more about baking, spent too much focus on cooking all these years.

  2. Surely for a baghette you are supposed to use ghee, not shortening. Such cheapskates

  3. 🤢 shortening is an instant “NO”

    Fake baguette. Fake food.

    A baguette that looks a million times more appetising than this can be made with nothing but flour, water, yeast, and a (crucial) pinch of salt. Which is what every bakery in France does and sells on average for 1,10€ for a baguette moulée which is kinda sad and 1,40€ for a nice tradition one.

  5. Ive never head the term Shortening before. I thought it was a joke, to shorten a (long) baguette. Lol!

    Is everyone here forgetting about sugar used to bloom yeast? If it’s commercially produced, even a tablespoon needs to be listed.

    The shortening is blasphemy, though

    I pay like 70 cents for a baguette in France. How is that price legal?

  8. Yeah, many supermarkets want to sell baguette-shaped loaves, but also don’t have enough volume to support actual baguettes, which go stale very-quickly. Not to mention that many restaurants (that don’t want to be paying for daily deliveries from a specialty bakery) use the same style bread for the table, to the point that it’s going to be what grocery shoppers expect when buying some “fancy” bread for their dinner.

    Isn’t the baguette a protected recipe by French law and by UNESCO? Or does the 1993 law only apply to the bread made within France?

    It’s bread. It’s spelled wrong. It had added fat. It doesn’t follow the “traditional recipe”. All are true. My question: does it taste good? If yes, good bread. If no, bad bread. Did OP eat one? Or are we just circle-jerking about a French recipe compared to one in a goddamn American grocery store? I don’t get it.
