It's often said that the best baguettes in the world are made in France. There are a few theories as to why: some argue that it's a tendency for higher gluten content, some point to a mastery of fermentation techniques, others tie it to various intangible qualities of local ingredients. Whatever the cause, it's all academic unless you have the chance to visit France. But that got us thinking: why not bring France to our freezers? Thus, we bring to you Trader Joe's Mini French Baguettes, a collection of six compact, individual baguettes, made especially for us by a French bakery, which are baked to about 80% doneness, then frozen for you to finish at home. And that means one thing in particular: ineffably French, perfectly baked Baguettes, fresh from your very own oven. Once fully cooked from your oven (simply place them directly on the oven rack, from frozen, at 400'F for about six minutes), these Baguettes can be enjoyed in any way you would if they came from a boulangerie on the banks of the Seine: cut them into hunks and enjoy with a bowl of soup, tear into pieces and dip into a flavorful olive oil, even split them horizontally for an elegantly elevated sandwich.
