EVERYDAY FRENCH BREAKFAST- BAGUETTE AND JAM WITH CHOCOLATE MILK
I lived in Paris for 4 months and in Valladolid, Spain for 6 months as a student and in both cities, the traditional everyday breakfast was this (although some adults have black coffee rather than chocolate milk!). In Spain I lived with a local family and everyone had a variation of this breakfast each day. It really hits the spot and with some fruit it is a well-balanced breakfast. This is a great way for kids to have fun learning about other parts of the world and works well with a class of schoolchildren. I haven't specified amounts for the toppings as that's all down to personal taste.

Steps:
- If possible, buy a french stick that is part-baked so you can bake it at home for that truly fresh texture.
- Cut the french stick in half vertically, then halve each part horizontally.
- Spread a thin layer of butter over each piece of bread, then top with strawberry jam.
- Serve with a glass of chocolate milk, or if you want to have a really authentic breakfast, pour the chocolate milk into a bowl and dunk the bread and jam before savouring each bite!
FRENCH BAGUETTE
From Canadian Living. There are three risings, so although the recipe is quite simple, it takes awhile.

Steps:
- Combine water and sugar in a mixing bowl, sprinkle in yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes, or until yeast is dissolved and creamy.
- Using electric mixer, gradually beat in 3 cups of the flour, skim milk powder and salt; beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- With wooden spoon, gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough.
- Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Place in lightly greased bowl, turning to grease all over, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until almost tripled in bulk.
- Punch down dough; cover and let rise for for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in bulk.
- Grease two heavy baking sheets or baguette pans and dust with cornmeal; set aside.
- Punch down dough; turn out onto floured surface and knead into a smooth ball. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; roll each into a rope about 14 inches long. Place 2 ropes at least 4 inches apart on each prepared baking sheet.
- Dust tops with flour, cover with dry tea towel and let rise for about an hour, until doubled in bulk.
- 15 minutes before baking, place inverted baking sheet on middle rack of 425 oven. Place cake or pie plate on bottom rack.
- Just before baking only 2 baguettes at a time, pour 1 cup of water into pan. Using serrated knife, cut 3 long diagonal slashes about 1/4 inch deep inot each baguette.
- Place baking sheet with baguettes on inverted baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove to wire rack and let cool. Repeat with remaining baguettes.

Steps:
- In bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together yeast and warm water until creamy. Using dough hook, add the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cool water. Mix until a smooth, elastic dough forms, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours.
- Grease a double baguette pan and lightly sprinkle with cornmeal. Divide the dough into two 12-by-6-inch rectangles. Form the dough into baguettes. Transfer baguettes to the prepared pan, laying each seam-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and let proof overnight in the refrigerator.
- When the dough has proofed completely (see Chef Tip: The Poke Test), preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly flour the top of each baguette. With a razor blade or very sharp paring knife, score the top of each baguette lengthwise 3 to 4 times. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until crusty and golden, about 30 minutes.
- Chef's Tip for Mixing Dough: When first combining water and flour, it is essential to create dough with the right consistency. If dough is too wet and sticky, add a bit more flour. If dough is too dry and hard, add a bit more cool water.
- Chef's Tip for The Poke Test: Poke the refrigerated dough with a finger. If the indentation holds, you're ready to bake. If dough bounces back, let it sit in a warm spot until it passes the test.
- Chef's Tip for Forming Baguettes: Divide the dough into two rectangles. Fold the long edge of one rectangle over to meet the other edge and pinch the seam to seal. Roll up into a log, flatten, fold, and pinch again. Continue 2 or 3 times more until you have a baguette long enough to fit your pan. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:
- In a small bowl dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
- Stir with a fork.
- Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Combine the flour and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture, and stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups water.
- Mix the dough until it is sticky enough to knead.
- On a lightly floured board, knead for 6 to 10 minutes; the dough should be sticky and smooth.
- Put the dough in a bowl, cover with a damp tea towel, and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 4 pieces.
- Roll each into a ball and shape into a baguette.
- Transfer the loaves to a lightly greased baking sheet or baguette pan and let rise until nearly doubled.
- (I use 2 baking sheets, with 3 smaller loaves per sheet).
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Brush the baguettes with the egg-water mixture.
- Score the loaves diagonally across the top with a sharp knife.
- Pour 2 cups of hot water into a pan and place in the preheated oven next to the baguettes to provide moisture.
- Bake the baguettes for 15 minutes, and then lower the temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a rack before slicing.
- Occasionally I burn the bottom of the bread, in which case I scrape it off with a sharp serrated knife and it remains my secret!
