Creating moisture in the oven or on a loaf of bread helps to give the finished loaf a crisp crust. Using a spray bottle with a fine spray, mist the loaf with water a few times during the first 10 minutes of baking.
This slows down the formation of the top crust, so the loaf will rise higher as it bakes and form a crisp crust. Or add moisture by placing a metal pan with hot water in the oven with the bread. As the water evaporates in the hot oven, it will dry the surface of the bread so a hard crust is formed.
