Instructions: FRENCH BAGUETTES are THE best fresh out of the oven... the mere aroma is almost unbearable youve just got to dig in.

This recipe contains no fat of any kind and only a little sugar, so the result is a very lean bread. Although best when freshly baked (served within an hour of baking), Ive also taken the liberty of including a few quickie tips you can use to enjoy it longer. You may want to save this one for a rainy day because there are quite a few steps involved but well worth the effort!

1. To freshen it, sprinkle with a little water and reheat in the oven.

2. Freeze the bread as soon as it has completely cooled and reheat by letting it stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then warm in a 350 degree oven.
