The same great French bread dough shaped into a long, slender baguette-style loaf with more crust per slice and a slightly chewier bite. Ideal for crostini, appetizer boards, and dipping into olive oil, or slices cleanly into elegant portions for bread service.
✦ Best enjoyed? Slice thin and arrange on an appetizer board with good olive oil and a selection of cheeses, top with bruschetta or crostini toppings for an effortless starter, or simply tear a piece off and dunk into a rich soup or pasta sauce, the extra crust on every slice makes it the best thing on the table.
