Verdict - Julia Child's Country Bread

Very easy recipe to work with.  The dough rises like it should and in the time period it was supposed to.  Several aspects I wasn't really pleased about.  I am used to bread turning a nice golden brown.  The loaf pretty much remained the same color as the original dough.  The crust is very hard.  This bread reminds me a lot of Eric's No-Knead Bread from Breadtopia, though Julia's bread had a better taste.  Whether I would make this bread again - not sure.  It was good, but not a show-stopper.
