Chef’s Secret

To revive a day-old sourdough baguette, lightly spray it with water and reheat in a 180°C/350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until the crust is crisp again.

Substitutions

Best Match

Regular French Baguette

1:1

Similar shape and crust, but lacks the distinct tangy flavor of sourdough.

Sourdough Loaf (sliced)

1:1

Same sourdough flavor and texture, but in a different shape, suitable for slicing.

Ciabatta Bread

1:1

Offers a chewy interior and crisp crust, often with a similar open crumb structure, but less tangy.

Crusty White Bread (e.g., Italian bread)

1:1

Provides a good crust and soft interior, but without the artisanal qualities or sourdough tang.

Buying Guide

Look for a baguette with a deeply colored, crisp crust and a springy interior with an open, irregular crumb structure.
