French Bread by Julia Child

Niharika (1)

I had a good time preparing the bread. It was a challenge as I rarely follow the recipe exactly as stated. I even read the recipes at least three times and had the book open on a chair as I shaped the dough. I let the dough rise at far more cooler temperatures as I had to fit it around my day. I had to look up information about the canvas and purchased a 1/2 yd. piece of duck cloth from Jo Ann.
I would consider this a difficult bread for a new bread baker.
