If a soft crust is desired, the loaf should be brushed with butter or oil before baking.
The answer is go buy a freakin loaf of the bread and find out for yourself!
France. French bread in France has several names based mainly on their shapes. Some of these are: batard - looks like a loaf of "Italian Bread" baguette - what we call a loaf of "French Bread" Boule - a loaf that looks like an upside-down bowl. Brioche - is a soft fluffy bread with extra milk and eggs added to the dough and several small rolls.
A French stick (a narrow, thin loaf of bread) is called 'une baguette' (fem.) in French.
The best pan for baking bread is a heavy-duty metal loaf pan, preferably made of aluminum or aluminized steel. These pans conduct heat evenly, resulting in a well-baked loaf with a crispy crust and soft interior.
Assuming you are not able to sample the bread (smell and taste are the best tools), then fresh bread is soft and will give and rebound from a firm squeeze, while a stale loaf will be firm to the touch.
One highly recommended crusty French bread recipe is the "No-Knead French Bread" recipe. It requires minimal effort and yields a deliciously crusty loaf with a soft interior.
In the UK it can be known as the crust. I believe the official term is the "heel" of the loaf. When I was growing up we called it the hupfermumber. This is one that me and my partner always argue about! I've grown up knowing this as a knobby and he calls it the topper.
Yes. The bread goes stale and the cookies stay moist.
To keep brown sugar soft and prevent it from hardening, store it in an airtight container with a slice of bread or a damp paper towel. The bread or paper towel will help maintain moisture in the sugar, keeping it soft and easy to use.

To soften brown sugar, place a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container with the sugar and seal it tightly. The moisture from the bread or paper towel will help soften the sugar and keep it soft for longer.
There is no preservative in French bread sticks, only flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Soft rolls have some fat in them (to make them more soft) and preservatives to keep them longer.
