For the french bread, it's all in the hearty crust and the soft center. My parents used to joke that french bread provided a good jaw workout, but no one can deny how good the bread was with soup, for breakfast, or as I recently learned topped with salted rather than normal butter. Tres French...
With a steaming technique in which you add water to the preheated oven plate, I was able to finally master the French crust. I think I reached a personal best when I got the "tastes authentic" stamp of approval. Those words from an European must melt every aspiring bread-maker's heart as it did mine.
