It depends on what type of Italian bread and which type of French. It
seems an awful waste of a good baguette to make garlic bread, but a
lower quality baguette sliced on an angle would be fine. The bread I
get from my local Italian bakery is, IMO, too large to use for garlic
bread, but they make a "French Stick" which would do just fine. It is
basically the same bread but in a long skinny loaf.
