I am addicted to French baguettes, plain, sourdough, mixed grain; you name it. Not the “French” baguettes you can buy at the grocery store or even the ones that come from the boulangerie down the street that advertises “real” French baguettes. We spent some time in France and most every morning enjoyed locally baked baguettes; crisp crunchy crust and light, airy crumb. Upon returning to the US I went in search of comparable baguettes. I knew that here they would not be the same, and I was willing to accept “close.” Almost needless to say, I didn’t find any. Now what? Move to France?
