Great job making French bread? (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

nice work

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'french bread?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'great job' is the wordplay.
'great' becomes 'nice' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'job' becomes 'work' (synonyms).
'nice'+'work'='NICE WORK'

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
