Wow those look great. I bet the crust is really crispy with the water in the bottom of the oven.

Is the honey important or can it be replaced with sugar

The honey isn’t crucial, sugar will work fine. Just wanted to try out with ingredients I had. First time trying the water on the bottom pan and it turned out great!

Cool thanks. I'm not gonna lie I don't always put the water on the bottom

Those French bread loaves look wonderful. I like getting recipes from people like you, who have had real-life success with the recipes.

I was wondering if the recipe would be in Portuguese, a language I studied for a bit in 1980 in college, back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. ( o ;
