when I moved back to the USA after 2 years home, in France, I was the one making fun of the people who spend hours to make their own bread. I even remember saying "it will be a sad the day I make my own bread, I can find just what I need at the grocery store". Well here we are 5 month later and I am making my own bread.
Turns out after 2 years of taking a short walk with my son to the local bakery to have fresh bread for dinner made me and my son addicted to good, tasty, fresh bread with my diner.
I tried for a while to get Labreda bread, which is good, but it expensive $2 to $3 per baguette, it is hard to find, only Harris Teeter has it around here and there is none near my home. And finely you have to defrost it every night, doesn't keep well, ...
So after much starvation of good bread, I started making bread. Of course the first 2 tries were really bad. The baguettes were flat, too salty, not salty enough. Then I bought a book about bread and with some practice I got to some good baguette, almost as good as what I could get in France. I guess practice make it perfect.
