French Baguette


By Gayathri's Cook Spot (Visit website)



I needed baguette for the garlic crumbs used as a topping for cassoulet which I prepared for The Daring Cook, Challenge. I was browsing through the web for the recipe and I saw this recipe here. I got two baguette breads. I prepared the crumbs with one baguette and the other one, we enjoyed with the cassoulet. It was so yummy..
