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. 

Membuat baguette melibatkan bahan-bahan sederhana: tepung, air, ragi, dan garam. Adonan diuleni kemudian dibentuk menjadi potongan panjang. Potongan ini dibiarkan mengembang. Inilah saat adonan menjadi lebih besar dan lebih lembut. Setelah mengembang, adonan dipanggang sampai bagian luarnya berwarna keemasan dan renyah.
