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. 

Uma baguete é um tipo de pão muito popular na França. É longo e fino com uma crosta crocante. Pessoas de todo o mundo gostam de comer baguetes. Elas são frequentemente comidas com queijo, manteiga ou geleias. Às vezes, são usadas para fazer sanduíches.

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. 

A palavra "baguete" significa "vara" em francês. Este nome vem da forma longa e semelhante a uma vara do pão. As baguetes geralmente têm cerca de 26 polegadas de comprimento, mas podem ser mais curtas ou mais longas.

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. 

As baguetes foram feitas pela primeira vez na década de 1920 na França. Antes disso, os pães franceses eram redondos e grossos. A criação da baguete mudou a forma como as pessoas apreciavam o pão. Sua forma e tamanho tornavam fácil assar e comer.

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. 

Fazer uma baguete envolve ingredientes simples: farinha, água, fermento e sal. A massa é sovada e depois moldada em pedaços longos. Esses pedaços são deixados para crescer. É quando a massa fica maior e mais macia. Depois de crescer, a massa é assada até que o exterior esteja dourado e crocante.

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. 

As pessoas na França compram baguetes frescas em padarias quase todos os dias. Na cultura francesa, é muito importante ter pão fresco como este nas refeições. As baguetes fazem parte do dia a dia na França.

1.6
A fun way to enjoy a baguette is to fill it with your favorite ingredients.  You can put in meats, cheeses, or vegetables.  This makes a tasty meal that is easy to carry and eat. 

Uma maneira divertida de desfrutar de uma baguete é recheá-la com os seus ingredientes favoritos. Pode colocar carnes, queijos ou vegetais. Isto faz uma refeição saborosa que é fácil de transportar e comer.

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.
