Root page not working when redirecting

I am using the below code to redirect to the root page.

return Redirect::to('/');

I have defined the home page route as below.

Route::get('/', 'PagesController@home');

When the page is redirect to root page, I expect the url to be http://localhost/crafts/public/ but its http://localhost/crafts/public/home. I am not sure where does that /home gets added. I have the home function defined in the PagesController file.

This is the PagesController section.

public function home()
{
  return view('home');
}

All other routes shown below work fine except the main route. 

Route::get('about', 'PagesController@about');
Route::get('contact', 'PagesController@contact');
Route::get('auth/{provider}', 'Auth\AuthController@login');
Route::get('auth/{provider}/callback', 'Auth\AuthController@callback');

Please explain what I am doing wrong?

If you look at

app/http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php

it has this code:

/**
 * Handle an incoming request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Closure  $next
 * @return mixed
 */
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ($this->auth->check()) {
        return redirect('/home');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

So when you are using Redirect, it probably authenticates first which then calls the handle function above which is clearly adding a /home

I do notice one thing that you said you are using Laravel-5 in the question label. In that case, replace the Redirect code with:

return redirect('/');

The syntax Redirect::To is for version 4.x or earlier.
