Baguette 
Read a short passage about how a long, crispy loaf became a classic French bread. 
1.1
A baguette is a type of bread that is very popular in France.  It is long and thin with a crisp crust.  People all over the world enjoy eating baguettes.  They are often eaten with cheese, butter, or jams.  Sometimes, they are used to make sandwiches. 

Ang baguette ay isang uri ng tinapay na napakapopular sa France. Ito ay mahaba at manipis na may malutong na crust. Ang mga tao sa buong mundo ay nasisiyahan sa pagkain ng baguette. Madalas itong kinakain kasama ng keso, mantikilya, o jam. Minsan, ginagamit ito para gumawa ng mga sandwich.

1.2
The word "baguette" means "stick" in French.  This name comes from the bread's long, stick-like shape.  Baguettes are usually about 26 inches long but can be shorter or longer. 

Ang salitang "baguette" ay nangangahulugang "stick" sa Pranses. Ang pangalang ito ay nagmula sa mahaba, tulad ng stick na hugis ng tinapay. Ang mga baguette ay karaniwang mga 26 pulgada ang haba ngunit maaaring mas maikli o mas mahaba.

1.3
Baguettes were first made in the 1920s in France.  Before this, French breads were round and thick.  The creation of the baguette changed how people enjoyed bread.  Its shape and size made it easy to bake and eat. 

Ang mga baguette ay unang ginawa noong 1920s sa France. Bago ito, ang mga tinapay ng Pransya ay bilog at makapal. Ang paglikha ng baguette ay nagbago kung paano nasisiyahan ang mga tao sa tinapay. Ang hugis at sukat nito ay ginawang madali ang pagluto at pagkain.

1.4
Making a baguette involves simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt.  The dough is kneaded and then shaped into long pieces.  These pieces are left to rise.  This is when the dough becomes bigger and softer.  After rising, the dough is baked until the outside is golden and crispy. 

Ang paggawa ng baguette ay nagsasangkot ng simpleng sangkap: harina, tubig, lebadura, at asin. Ang masa ay minamasa at pagkatapos ay hinuhubog sa mahabang piraso. Ang mga pirasong ito ay pinapayagang umalsa. Ito ay kapag ang masa ay nagiging mas malaki at mas malambot. Pagkatapos umalsa, ang masa ay inihurno hanggang ang labas ay maging golden at crispy.

1.5
People in France buy baguettes fresh from bakeries almost every day.  In French culture, having fresh bread like this at meals is very important.  Baguettes are part of daily life in France. 

Ang mga tao sa Pransya ay bumibili ng sariwang baguette mula sa mga bakery halos araw-araw. Sa kulturang Pranses, napakahalaga na magkaroon ng sariwang tinapay tulad nito sa mga pagkain. Ang mga baguette ay bahagi ng pang-araw-araw na buhay sa Pransya.

1.6

Isang masayang paraan para masiyahan sa isang baguette ay punuin ito ng iyong mga paboritong sangkap. Maaari kang maglagay ng mga karne, keso, o gulay. Ginagawa nitong isang masarap na pagkain na madaling dalhin at kainin.

1.7
Fun fact: There is a special competition in France called the "Grand Prix de la Baguette."  Every year, bakers from all over Paris make their best baguettes.  A group of judges tastes them and chooses the best one.  The winner gets a prize and becomes very famous.  This shows how important baguettes are to French people. 

**Nakakatuwang katotohanan**: May isang espesyal na kompetisyon sa Pransya na tinatawag na "Grand Prix de la Baguette". Bawat taon, ang mga baker mula sa buong Paris ay gumagawa ng kanilang pinakamahusay na baguette. Isang grupo ng mga hurado ang tumitikim nito at pumipili ng pinakamahusay. Ang nagwagi ay tumatanggap ng premyo at nagiging napakatanyag. Ipinapakita nito kung gaano kahalaga ang mga baguette sa mga Pranses.
