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.
Another big benefit is it will fit inside a standard 30" oven along with the round La Cloche. Two round La Cloches will not fit at the same time.
Now you can get two hearth oven style loaves in the same baking.
