Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes at 250°C (480°F) until the baguettes are golden brown.

Note: As when baking any bread, you should ensure that the oven is filled with steam for the first 15 minutes of baking. This page shows you how; it really is the secret of golden-brown, crusty loaves..

Served sliced as an aperitif snack, for example, success is guaranteed!

Remarks

You will notice that the added goodies amount to nearly as much as the bread dough itself. This may seem a lot, but it is the secret that puts the "special" in a speciality bread.
