Dave Scarpetti, over at Weber Cam, seems to have nailed “the most common bread offered with meals in France.” Well said… the French having nothing that they call “French Bread.” 
The breakthrough came as I caught the end of America’s Test Kitchen on our local PBS station a couple weeks ago. They were making Rustic Country Bread. This site is free but requires an annoying registration.
Dave’s photos of his results look great! I think Gretchen and I are going to have to try this out.
