Parisian Ham and Butter Baguette

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Take the butter out of the fridge 30 min ahead so it is soft enough to spread without tearing the bread.

2. 2

   Cut the baguette into two pieces about 20 cm (8 in) long. Slice each lengthwise with a serrated knife, leaving one side attached like a hinge.

3. 3

   Spread the butter thickly from edge to edge on both cut sides. The layer should be clearly visible.

4. 4

   Fold or ruffle the ham slices over the bottom halves in an even layer, to the ends so every bite has some.

5. 5

   Close the sandwiches and press down lightly. Eat within the hour, while the crust still crackles.
