Side question: Why do people buy baguettes? Do they make sandwiches with them? How do you even make a sandwich from them? How are you meant to beat a baguette???

    Why are they different shapes?

    Sliced bread is made in loaf pans

    Sourdough is made on a flat tray in the shape of a ball so it spreads out a bit.

    Baguettes are made by a long strand of dough.

    Bonus answer: the reason why sourdough and the baguette have the textured crust is due to the dough being sliced with a knife prior to baking.
