Soon I will start to bake again and will try this and other tricks myself.

I thought that I recalled something about that. Here it is.
French Bread Baking Tips
"Wash the tops of French bread with a mixture of one tablespoon salt and one cup water. Wash the first time before the bread rises. Bake French bread at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, wash with the salt water mixture again and turn the oven down to 375 degrees. Let bake for 10 minutes and wash with the salt water mixture again. Continue to bake until done."
