The food source of baguettes
The baguette was inherited from the bread craft in Vienna, Austria in the middle of19th century, when an oven called deck (thick floor) began to be widely used. Deck furnace is a combination of traditional brick furnace and gas furnace. Instead of firewood, it uses natural gas to heat thick stone piles or firebricks like "decks" to bake. The desktop oven needs to be filled with steam. In order to make a good French baguette, there are many different ways to inject steam.
The oven is usually higher than 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius), and the steam injection makes the crust expand before it is fully heated, eventually forming a light and breathable bread.
