I tried this recipe, but it didn't taste like the French bread made in Jr. High. I would try to find my home economics teacher if kids still had that class.
Bread came out moist (maybe underbaked) on inside, and crispy on outside. I expected it would be dryer inside and with larger air pockets and webbing. Also lacked salt and cornmeal type flavor. This was all pretty solid. I replaced canola oil with olive oil because it's what I had, and I imagine traditional French bread probably existed before 1970s when canola oil was first used. I was confused by putting cornmeal on first, then egg white which wipes it away. And the instructions mentioned a baking sheet and a pan.
Any tips or clarifications for this recipe?
