What Is Batard Bread?
Batard bread is a type of French bread that is similar to that of a baguette. However, it is shorter and wider than a baguette. The word "batard" refers to bread that is not quite a baguette and is not quite a traditional loaf. It is a popular choice for making sandwiches and is commonly used in French cuisine.
Batard bread is made using the same ingredients as other types of French bread, which includes water, flour, salt, and yeast. The dough is traditionally shaped into a short, thick loaf. The end result of baking a batard is a delicious bread that is great for a variety of culinary applications. Once baked, it has a crispy crust and a soft, airy interior. Which makes it perfect for soaking up sauces and holding together fillings.
