What are some good resources for starting with breads like this? I'm finally going to have a working oven again after years of suffering and crusty breads have been at the top of my "to-bake" list for a while. I'm particularly interested in pic related because the only place I've ever seen it is an Italian deli 1500 miles away and yet just thinking about it gives me a half-chub. I don't even know what the actual name is, just the name I found it under. I wouldn't be averse to buying it but despite living in a town lousy with Italians all of them are apparently unaware that bread is supposed to have a crust.
