French bread is a long, crusty white loaf with a tender, open crumb. Its crackly crust and mild wheaty flavor make it versatile for sandwiches and toasts, and it slices cleanly without crumbling. Common uses include garlic bread, crostini, stuffing, and bread puddings.

Originating in France, the modern baguette style was standardized in the early 20th century and spread worldwide through bakeries. In the United States, regional versions such as New Orleans French bread evolved for po'boy sandwiches, often baked with a slightly softer crumb and thinner crust.
