What is a Batard?

A batard, with emphasis on the "tard" in bread making refers to a small baguette, that is typically half the length and many times the width of a classic baguette.

A traditional baguette is about 2 inches in diameter and anywhere from 15 to 40 inches long.

A batard's fat shape and doughy consistency make it ideal for sandwiches.
