Too much flour and not enough water can cause crumbly bread — people often do this if the dough is too sticky and they add more flour rather than kneading through it.

You can do that at home but domestic ovens are rarely airtight enough to hold that steam in place. If you want a really great crust, try making your bread in a casserole pot with the lid on. That creates an airtight environment.
Take your biggest casserole pot, get it hot in the oven, then put your shaped dough in there.
