Now With Seeds.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoulangerie Christophe's \u003cstrong\u003eSeeded French Baguette\u003c\/strong\u003e takes his award-winning baguette recipe and adds a generous crust of \u003cstrong\u003etoasted mixed seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e — sesame, poppy, sunflower, and linseed — pressed into the surface before baking. The result is everything you love about the classic baguette — the \u003cstrong\u003eshatteringly crisp crust\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003ewildly open, irregular crumb\u003c\/strong\u003e, the deep slow-fermented flavor — with an added layer of nutty, toasted complexity in every bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seeds caramelize against the hot stone deck, adding crunch, aroma, and a richness that makes this baguette exceptional on its own or alongside any topping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSlow Fermentation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all of Christophe's breads, the seeded baguette begins with a \u003cstrong\u003elong, cold overnight fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e. This extended rest builds a complex, nuanced flavor that fast-proofed baguettes simply cannot replicate — buttery and wheaty up front, with a subtle tang and a lingering finish that keeps you reaching for another piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHand-Shaped, Stone-Baked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach baguette is \u003cstrong\u003eshaped entirely by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e — no molds, no machines. After shaping, the surface is lightly moistened and rolled in a generous blend of \u003cstrong\u003etoasted mixed seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e before proofing. The baguettes are baked directly on a \u003cstrong\u003estone deck\u003c\/strong\u003e with a generous injection of steam — locking in the seeds, crisping the crust, and allowing the loaf to spring fully before setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristophe uses a carefully balanced blend of:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSesame seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e — nutty and aromatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoppy seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e — delicate and slightly earthy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunflower seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e — rich and toasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinseed (flaxseed)\u003c\/strong\u003e — subtly nutty with a pleasant crunch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach seed variety is chosen for how it behaves on the crust — toasting evenly, staying adhered, and contributing its own distinct flavor and texture to the finished loaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePure Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic stone-milled flour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiltered water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed seeds (sesame, poppy, sunflower, linseed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive ingredients.
