Demi-Baguette Recipes

A demi-baguette is a shorter version of a classic baguette, with a crisp crust, airy crumb, and mild wheat flavor. Its smaller size makes it especially useful for recipes that need just enough bread for two to four servings.

Use demi-baguette for crostini, bruschetta, panini, French bread pizza, garlic bread, and hearty sandwich recipes. It also works well torn into croutons, sliced for cheese boards, or served alongside soups, stews, and saucy pasta dishes.

Because it has a sturdy crust and open interior, demi-baguette absorbs olive oil, butter, sauces, and broths without falling apart too quickly. Day-old demi-baguette is ideal for bread pudding, panzanella, strata, and homemade breadcrumbs.
