Behind the French Menu: Searching for the Perfect Baguette? The Perfect Baguette is a Baguette de Tradition Française.
Great stuff!
"A baguette de tradition is made with pure wheat flour, water and salt, and no additives at all. A baguette de tradition must be baked on the day it is sold and the dough cannot have been frozen. The bakers order their flour from mills they know personally and consider the water used to be crucial. Along with the ingredients noted above goes the baker’s proprietary "chef", the starter, the baker's yeast culture. There are bakers who have the same chef, the name given to a baker’s proprietary yeast starter, that have been in the family for many many years, some for over thirty years."

I have heard back from our QA department, regarding your egg/antibiotics inquiry. While antibiotics may be used to treat hen health, there are FDA Regulations that must be followed. The probability of antibiotic residue being present on a hens eggs is extremely low, because a hens being treated for sickness, rarely produce eggs. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please let me know. Have a great day!
