# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms an everyday baguette into something that looks like you spent real time on presentation
  • Takes just 15 minutes from start to finish, but guests always think you fussed
  • Works as a base for nearly anything, from soft cheese to hearty soup
02 -
  • Fresh baguette makes all the difference, but day old bread works if you brush it generously with olive oil first
  • Don't skip the garlic rub if you're serving these with cheese or dips, it ties everything together in a way that feels intentional
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife and let the blade do the work, don't press down or you'll crush the bread
  • If your baguette is extra long, cut it in half and make two smaller circles instead of one large ring
  • For gluten free guests, this works beautifully with gluten free baguettes, just watch them closely as they can brown faster
