Step 5Cut a section off each side of the baguette, lengthwise.

Step 6Cut a trough down through the middle of the baguette, about the thickness of the hotdog, but be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 8Brush the melted butter on the bottom and two cut sides.

Step 9Place in a small pan, over, medium heat.
