I made the Basic Real Bread from the first post on this thread / realbreadcampaign.org a few times now.
It's pretty good.
It works best with the cheapest white flour and the cheap fresh yeast, unfortunately (organic yeast and flour don't rise as much, especially when using whole grain).
I use a gas oven at max heat for almost the entire baking time.
I put a shallow cast iron pan with water in it on a grating under the baking tray with the dough.
That way temperature in the oven is more even (the bottom of the bread does not burn), and moisture level is kept high as it should.
