1 section baguette tradition (fresh daily bakery baguette)
1 tbsp butter

How to cook it

Pick up a fresh baguette tradition from the bakery that morning; the tradition label means it is made simply, without additives, and turns stale within a day.
Tear off a section by hand rather than slicing it, the way it is most often eaten at home.
Spread a little butter over the torn piece, letting it melt into the crumb if the bread is still warm.
Dip the buttered piece into a bowl of coffee or hot chocolate for a few seconds, the classic French way to soften the crust.
Eat it right away, tearing off another piece as needed.
