French Baguettes

Ever since I bought the book by Chef Alex Goh on The World of Bread, making bread has been so easy for me….. And this is one of my favorite bread.

I will make this bread for at least once a week nowadays. Normally I will eat the bread just like that or put in some chicken salami with some vegetables. It makes a very nice sandwich just like the sandwich sold in Subways…….
