As a matter of fact, the word "baguette" was not used to refer to bread until around 1920, but what is now known as a "baguette" may have existed well before that! A baguette is a long, thin loaf of French bread that is commonly made from basic lean dough. Besides, it is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust, as it has a diameter of about 5 or 6 cm and a usual length of about 65 cm, although a baguette can be up to 1 m long! While "baguette" is not high in protein, it does contain some. And if you are watching your weight, protein plays an important role in keeping you satisfied after eating and holding food in the stomach for a long period. If you eat this bread with some lean meat, such as turkey breast or some low-fat cheese, you increase the protein content even more.
