Today we are still admiring this stone building covered with larch shingles but remember that in the past we did not eat hot baguette every morning!
When the oven was lit, each family took turns baking. The running order changed constantly, as there was no advantage in being first - they had to heat up the oven! And this consumed more wood. The bread was then stored for months on racks in a well-aired room. Over time, the bread would harden until it was impossible to cut. So it had to be torn before being added to milk or soup.
