Made up a batch of dough and let it rise this morning. It just came out of the oven and it sure smells wonderful. Fresh bread for my days off.

I bought mine at Amazon. About $42.00 about 4 weeks ago. Looks like they have gone up since then about $10.00. Williams- Sonoma has them also and may be cheeper.
-
I paid the big price through amazon as I could not find one here in Canada. I just said hey I spend money on a lot of dumb stuff but this is one of the better ones I have bought.

Very nice Devo
-
Oh yeah!!
-
Great looking loaf, what dough recipe did you use???

I though "cloche" was a type of bread you baked.
My wife bakes a LOT of bread. I showed her your pic and she told me quick about the cloche. I googled it and found one I think she'll like and ordered it. For all the grills, etc I have, she deserves her share of toys.
just sayin'...
Thanks for the tip, sir.

And of course you won't complain about all the fresh bread to go with your grilled creations... ;)

Not one bit, sir!
She baked some cinnamon/raisin bread this afternoon that really turned out.
Dang!! I should have posted pictures of that loaf. Ooooh, she sliced off a generous piece while it was still warm and the butter soaked into it and...can't take a picture to capture that taste experience.

We really need smell a vision and taste a vision on the forum.

Looks great, nice looking slice with the butter on it. ;)

Williams- Sonoma has them also and may be cheaper.
I've never known Wille Sonoma to be cheaper on anything. My wife likes to SHOP AROUND in their store, but seldom wants to pay their price.

Great looking loaf, what dough recipe did you use???
I use a sweet bread starter that I got from Classicrockgriller
Here is the recipe I follow for my bread & buns
RECIPE BY Classicrockgriller
Sweet yeast bread
The ingredients for the dough are: 1 1/2 cup of warm water, 1 ts of salt, 1/2 cup of corn oil,
1/2 cup of sugar, and 6 to 7 cups of bread flour. (I got tired of measuring flour by cups so I
coverted it to weight and I used 2lbs)
Grease your mixing bowl and dump the starter in it. (approx two cups of starter)
Take your warm water and put it in the bowl that held the starter and swirl it around to get
the rest of the starter and dump it in the mixer.
Pour in your corn oil
Pour in your sugar and salt
Gice it a quick stir with and big spoon and start adding your flour. I stir by hand till
all the flour is wet.
This will keep flour from flying out of your bowl when you turn on your mixer. Start your
mixer on slow and gradually increase your speed till everything from the sides and bottom
are mixed in.
Get a clean bowland grease it down.
Plop your dough into the greased bowl.
Let it rest for a bit and then flip it over.
Place your bowl in your draft free area and cover it. It needs to set till it is about double in size. (2 to 4 hrs)
Kneading the Bread
Again, I am not a Baker but this is what I do and it works for me and this bread. To control my
mess I knead on a 1/2 sheet pan. I pour the risen dough on to a lightly flour sheet.
I cut it in half and work with half at a time. I put one half back in the bowl.
I then pull the dough width wise.
I press the dough down with the palms of my hand trying to maintain the square shape.
I fold one end over about 1/3 and press that down again.
I roll over the bottom to the top, lightly press it and I am ready to put my dough in baking pans.
Baking your Bread
All ovens are different so you may need to adjust your times depending on how your oven bakes.
Pre-heat your oven to 350*. I bake my rolls separate from the bread because I use a different time
for the two. Rolls are approx 24 to 26 minutes and loafs are 28 to 30 minutes. Adjust the time to
fit your oven and wants.

All I know Pam is this has been in Sonny,s (Classicrockgriller) family for many generations. He lives in Texas I believe. Nepa is really good friends with him. Perhaps you can ask Nepa to email him for some history on it.

Thanks SD, I'm going to have to get some starter and give it a try.

Hey, Devo, can you help us out here?
My wife bakes a lot of bread - usually using her bread machine to mix the dough before taking it out to rise then bake in the oven.
I bought her a cloche like yours - kinda low and long...not round.
We seasoned the bottom with vegetable oil. The instructions said "don't season the cover", so we didn't.
We baked standard white bread in it today and it was BAD. 1. the bread didn't cook thru 2. the dough stuck to the cover
Are we supposed to season the cover as well as the bottom? I want her bread to turn out like yours.
Thanks...

Nice lookin bread Ahron.

Jaxon..season the entire inside of the cloche. I found that out too. You guys are gonna be experts real soon. I only rinse mine with hot water and let it completely dry before using..You don't wanna use it wet.. just go for it. We should have a cook off at the gathering for baked bread. Nobody doesn't like bread. I'll bring lots of butter, real butter. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Pam, I rubbed some oil in it and it soaked right in. Didn't want to overdo it.
How much oil does it take...and should we put it in the oven after oiling like cast iron?
Just a few more details please and thank you.
-
Jaxon..oil it a few times..let the oil soak in..I have used coconut oil, good stuff, it's creamy, and soon you will be releasing like a pro. I wouldn't let it pool but coat it good..it will soak up. your doing just fine. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I used PAM cooking spray on mine and it worked just fine. The first application I threw into the oven at 450 for a while, can't remember how long. Till it turn brown in color I believe. Than before making bread I gave it another spray down (top & bottom) for the next three loafs I made. The last clean up was a snap, nothing stuck to it at all.
