A must if you like bread (5/5) | Feb 7, 2012 | Grace | No US |
| I own both the round la cloche and the oblong la cloche. They make the most incredible bread. Don't hesitate to buy both. I like the fact that they both fit in the oven together so I can bake two loaves at the same time. Great for having company over as people couldn't stop eating the yummy bread. Again, excellent packaging and fast shipping. Thanks, Eric. | ||||

Buy this! (5/5) | Feb 5, 2012 | Linda Westerschulte | Los Angeles CA US |

Outstanding. No need to even season the pan. I immediately tried Cooks Illustrated's Almost No-knead Bread. I always wanted to make this bread in an oblong shape instead of the circle shape of my enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. In the La Cloche baker I got my beautiful long loaf. It rose magnificently (better than in my cast iron pot) and the crust was perfect: toasty brown, shattering deliciously in the mouth, and so much of it! I think this is the best country loaf I've baked in my life, and I've been at it for forty years. I suppose the way the clay cloche concentrates the heat is the secret. I did not think it was possible to get these results at home. Next: sourdough. I can't wait. |

Perfect (5/5) | Sep 9, 2011 | Jason Thompson | Pawtucket RI US |
| I have been looking for a new 'dutch oven' style baker for no-knead bread and the the Oblong baker perfect for this type of bread baking. Additionally, customer service is outstanding. I had to place my order over the phone and Eric was friendly and helpful. | ||||

Buy it now! (5/5) | May 9, 2011 | JJ BEcker | Boston MA US |

Works perfectly, buy it. See how trivial it is to make bread that is better than you can buy. I'm not kidding! I've been making bread for 30 years, and the crust, crumb etc were always good, but never perfect. Now my lame GE oven is working like a steam oven. Do NOT delay, buy this thing. |

The perfect crust (5/5) | Jan 11, 2011 | Esther G. | Far Rockaway Ne US |
| The breads are SO crusty and so delicous! I have been baking bread for almost 40 years, and have never been able to produce a loaf as crusty as the breads that come out of this clay baker. A wonderful investment. | ||||

Very nice (5/5) | Oct 7, 2010 | Robert | Atlanta GA US |
| This thing is amazing. Nice crispy crust and soft crumb. You can bake all kinds of things in it besides bread too. Breadtopia also has excellent customer service. It arrived broken (bottom had a crack, top was in several pieces), but I was quickly sent a replacement after making a phone call. | ||||

Love my La Cloche (5/5) | Sep 28, 2010 | David Daniel | Nampa Id US |
| The La Cloche works great! It makes it really easy to adjust the crispyness of the crust. No clean up required, just brush out any crumbs. It is a lot easier than free forming. You end up with a nice sized loaf for sandwiches. | ||||

Great Baker (5/5) | Feb 14, 2010 | Dean Cole | Lincoln NE US |
| I just recently purchased a "La Cloche Clay Baker - Oblong". It is one of the best purchases I have made online. It has brought joy to my baking. | ||||

Excellent baker (5/5) | Jan 30, 2010 | John Alexander | |
| I make a NK dough and split it in two --half goes into the fridge for later. I use the baker to proof in and put it in the preheated oven cold. I bake a half loaf for 20 minutes covered and 10 uncovered. Wonderful bread. | ||||
