Title: I may have blown it badly
Post by: Pam Gould on March 29, 2014, 12:52:42 PM: I am using my cloche that I couldn't stand after seeing the other ones on this forum. I used a standard white loaf of bread form my 1st bread machine. I have 2 more, gave one to grand daughter. Anyway I put it in the cloche after seasoning it 3 times. It's rising beautifully and I put a pan of steaming water under it in a ss pan. I slashed my loaf with my lame' it's for cutting slashes in bread and had a straight razor blade in it. I'm sure you guys remember straight razors. After putting the cloche in oven I then put the lid on and this is where I blew it. I forgot to check the height of the cloche and it smushed the top of my loaf some. I resprayed the top with a water bottle and , let's cook it. We shall see what happens. Cross your finners. I use my rack puller for everything in the oven..it keeps me from burning myself.
Here is the finished loaf that didn't rise after I accidently punched it down and the cloche needs more seasoning. But the taste is great.

I will take care of the rising thing myself. I think I like this cloche, after more seasoning. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
