The best way to brown and crisp your bread's bottom crust – as well as enhance its rise – is to bake it on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel. The stone or steel, super-hot from your oven's heat, delivers a jolt of that heat to the loaf, causing it to rise quickly.

The key here is to find a good balance between the flour and liquids in your recipe. ... After a bit of kneading, the dough becomes sticky to touch, so you add more flour.
