What's the right way to serve a baguette at the table?
I usually heat it in the oven, break it in half, wrap it in a linen napkin and place it on a plate. This is clumsy. What's better?

Serve in a way that's useful for the meal it's served with.
Two other options
• just slices, plain, with a rubbing butter available on the table.
• on a cutting board with a serrated knife for slicing as needed.
Totally depends on personal choice! You can serve a baguette presliced in a cozy bread basket with a nice linen or cloth on top of the basket, then nestle the slices of baguette within the basket and pass it around! Another idea is to use a baguette board, I love this vintage one. https://food52.com/shop/products/5331-vintage-found-german-baguette-board
