ficelle - bread

This nice treat is a cross between a long, crunchy breadstick and a baguette. Sound good, it is. I was told that for best results; to make sure that the ingredients are at room temperature. The dough is covered and proofed in the fridge, for 24 hours. This prevents the dough from rising too fast and getting too large. Once baked the bread will last for 1 week if kept in an air tight container.
