A true, French baguette, with its crispy outside and soft in- side, is only made with water, ﬂ our, yeast and salt -- it’s French food law (yes, there are French food laws).

Next you’ll want to ﬁ nd olives that you like. There are several different types of French olives you can purchase, but remember to buy ones with the pits, Happel recommends, so that “the ﬂ avors will stay (in the olive).”
