I would suspect that you under baked this from how you describe the inside. It might be your thermometer is off but I think it's more likely your oven temp could be off. I'd suggest trying an oven thermometer next time and go for at least 195°F for an internal temp on the bread. I think Davimack has your answer on the bottom split.<BR/>Beautiful loaf.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-29895107100980169502008-03-06T22:40:00.000-08:002008-03-06T22:40:00.000-08:00yayyyyyyy!! heheh. i can eat sooooo much bread...e...yayyyyyyy!! heheh. i can eat sooooo much bread...especially french bread...YUMBettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187394059115229421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-55098040829211655572008-03-05T21:42:00.000-08:002008-03-05T21:42:00.000-08:00Thanks everyone!

The gluten has formed a solid sheet in the shaping process, so you slash that sheet & end up with bigger bubbles under where the slashes are.<BR/><BR/>The break on the bottom ... I've had that as well, and I suspect that it had to do with there being a bit of a weak seal when I formed the loaf.<BR/><BR/>You've done a great job!David T.
