Marianne Baguette – Traditional Rustic French Bread, A traditional style baguette de Campagne – rustic French bread, which is easy to make and has lots of body – it is NOT like the usual light, supermarket produced baguettes of today This bread can be started off in a bread machine if you wish Marianne is the national symbol of France; she personifies Liberty, Reason & the Triumph of the Republic She appears on stamps, government forms, town halls, law courts and the former French franc coins & banknotes; she even appears on high quality Label Rouge Baguettes and Pain!! Therefore, I have called this homemade French Bread/Baguette recipe after her it seems only right and proper!, Frenchie DH has declared this the best bread I’ve ever made and says not to change a thing Thanks for helping me find the perfect recipe Love the crusty outside and pillow soft inside, I followed the recipe exactly and won’t ever change a thing
