Produces the same crispy crust and moist crumb as the round La Cloche. I call this the "crust lover's cloche" since a longer loaf has more surface area than a comparable round loaf.

Now you can get two hearth oven style loaves in the same baking.

"I've used the bulk dough/refridgerator method, recipes from 4-5 different no-knead books, the stone, broiler pan, ice cubes, but nothing got the crust to crack when cut like the lecloche. Yesterday, I think I made the pefect loaf - used the Cooks Illustrated recipe with KA white flour and added about 10 minutes to the cooking time. Crust crackly, big holes, chewy texture; hubby got out some cheese and we ate half the loaf for supper - never done that in 30+ years of baking bread. Next I'll try the WW flour, then some seeds..."

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... more...
