There are multiple theories surrounding the origins of the classic French baguette. One account states that bread was mandated to be made in long, slender shapes by Napoleon Bonaparte for the convenience of his soldiers' pockets. Another legend claims that during the construction of the Paris Métro in 1898, bakers from different regions of France were brought together to create a unique bread that could be torn, instead of cut, to prevent disagreements over knives. A final theory suggests that the famous bread played a role in the French Revolution, as it was a staple in the French diet and the lower classes were angered by the nobility's ability to enjoy crusty baguettes while they suffered from shortages and hunger.
