I usually preheat the cloche at 425F then spray a little water on the crust and bake for 45 minutes. They tend to give a reddish rustic crust. Some people like it, some don't.
Yes...a first for me too! Is the cloche heavy? Looks rustic and produces rustic bread too. However, it's rather bulky, isn't it? Don't have the space in my kitchen, and looks like something clumsy me would break.
Gosh, it's been so long...9 yrs ago?...I don't really remember. Think it was pretty good..but after that long queue, I was very hungry. This place was supposed to be good...in a smallish shopping mall (2 storeys I think) diagonally opposite the liberty bell place.

well, it's good to promote some soulful conversation anyway...! and the photograph alone was worth a look. I'll keep trying - the colour of the loaf done this way is pretty good - that's all I know so far, and the crumb is more tender..

Back to the cloche, does it have any holes in it or is it completely closed?
I've used the one these guys make [url]http://www.sassafrasenterprises.com/[/url]
and this homemade one:

OK -- call me stupid but what a fabulous thing!
I have never seen one of these before ... thanks for the link gt ... it's fascinating. How clever.
And that bread looks fabulous!

Gorgeous bread, Gary.
Looks like the Liberty bell in Philadelphia with that crack down the side!
Nice loaf, ditto!

Oh, I've been to see that! And queued up for an hour to get philly cheesesteak.
What did you think of the cheese steak?

2 best steaks I ever had
1. il bacarro in Rome
2. Cafe DiStasio in Melbourne

Cheese-steak sandwiches! Thanks for the link, TP. I could kill myself eating that ... how delicious!
Perhaps if we use a sourdough bread roll, we are not then completely hijacking the thread.

Oh my! Carol! That sounds soooo good!
