goodbye/fun facts....National French Bread Day...French bread, also
known as a baguette, is a long thin loaf made from basic lean
dough...Over time, French law has established what is and what is
not a baguette. a true french baguette is 2-3 inches in diameter
and no more that 2.4 feet long. why so specific? In 1920, a
labor law prevented bakers from starting their day before 4 a.m.
Bread makers know that breadmaking is a tactile industry. The
kneading and resting of the dough are just as important as the
ingredients. When the law limited their day, the bakers knew their
product so well they adjusted by re-shaping their loaves of bread.
The long, narrow loaves baked more quickly and evenly. As a result,
patrons found the new loaves more convenient for slicing and
storing.
