Ficelle

Ficelle is a long and thin French bread that is spongy and tender on the interior, and crispy on the exterior. It is commonly made with white wheat flour, just like the baguette, but it is usually about half the size of a standard baguette that is sold at most French pâtisseries. The word ficelle means string in French, referring to its thinness. The bread is often used in the production of croutons, while it is regularly sliced and accompanied by a spinach dip.
