A baguette is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough . It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.
A baguette has a diameter of about 5 to 6 centimetres (2– inches) and a usual length of about 65 cm (26 in), although a baguette can be up to 1 m (39 in) long.
In November 2018, documentation surrounding the "craftsmanship and culture" on making this bread was added to the French Ministry of Culture's National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In May 2021, France submitted the baguette for UNESCO heritage status.
