Moitie/demi interchangeable?

For  "________ baguette, s'il-vous-plaît ! (Half a baguette, please !) ", why is "une moitié de" incorrect?

Bonjour Amy,

This question has been discussed in the forum before. Take a look at the link below:

Tatiana asked: "Should not [La moitié de baguette] work as well as [Une demi-baguette]?

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
