The raw materials for making French sticks are only flour, salt, yeast and water, four simple raw materials. No sugar, no cream, even the flour is unbleached, without any additives and preservatives. Bread made from these four ingredients will be very hard. In addition, France is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with long winters, mild and rainy weather and humid air.
