## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I use the base for final rise can it then go into a preheated 450 degree oven.**
A: I have used this cloche for all my bread baking. I put both the cover and base in the oven to be preheated. I use another container for the final rise with a piece of parchment under the dough. It is easy to place the risen dough right into the preheated cloche along with the parchment, cover it quickly and bake. Be sure to use the best oven mitts to handle this task. The parchment prevent sticking and can stand the heat.

**Q: Does it bake rye breads???**
A: Yes, any Bread does well in this.  You will be a pro in no time!

**Q: Can I bake sour dough bread in this?**
A: Yes you can, I have baked sour dough loaves in it

**Q: What size loaf of bread does the 11" produce?**
A: I used 820g bread flour, 130g rye flour & 50g potato starch (1000g total or about 7 cups of flour) + 700 g water.  So a 1700 g loaf ended up being about 9 3/4" across the bottom and 4 1/2" tall after baking.  An all bread flour loaf would be even larger.  I baked the loaf in a preheated cloche set on a baking stone at 500* for 30 minutes and finished it at 450* for 20 minutes w/ the cover removed.  After baking the loaf weighed 1624g or 3lb 9.4 oz.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very durable
*by K***N on May 7, 2025*

I made the most beautiful loaf of sourdough in this lovely stoneware!! I’ve made two so far. They hold up well, even under 500°.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Creates a Professional Baker's Oven in Your Kitchen
*by S***Y on February 7, 2011*

My original review is below. I just wanted to give you an update: I'm still using this pan and cloche 6 1/2 years later and I still love it! It gives crisp, artisinal crusts and boosts the rise of your loaf (see how near the bottom of my review) and I get terrific compliments. This is truly a product that worth the expense if you enjoy excellent breads.You will definitely see improvement in your homemade breads when you use a cloche. Basically, it is an unglazed clay base and domed lid that create the effects of a baker's oven within your own oven. The high heat and steam in a professional oven are not found in a home oven but, with the cloche, the results are remarkably similar.Contrary to many reviews, I was delighted and surprised to find that my La Cloche arrived in perfect condition. Packing it in thick cardboard and big plastic bubbles resolved the company's breakage problem.La Cloche's Pros* Excellent quality unglazed ceramic baking top and bottom* Heavy enough to retain heat* Performs as stated in the advertising* Creates a hot and humid environment making bread rise higher* Easy to maintainLa Cloche's Cons* NoneThe following are some suggestions to improve your oven's environment using this product:* Place a thin layer of coarsely ground corn meal on the interior base of the cloche. The will prevent the bread from sticking to the surface* Use parchment paper instead of the corn meal, if desired* Soak the top (only) of the cloche in water for 30 minutes prior to placing your bread dough in the oven. (Because the unglazed ceramic top will absorb some of the water, this will give you the benefits of a steam oven without the costs of a new one.)* Put your dough on the base and place the water-soaked top over it.* DO NOT PRE-HEAT your oven (Yes, read this correctly!). Turn the cold oven to 450° and set the timer for about 40-45 minutes for a 20-24 oz. loaf.* After the 40-45 minutes, remove BOTH the top and bottom of the cloche set from the oven.* Return the bread to the oven, placing it directly on the metal shelf. (Do not use a baking sheet.) The will allow you to bake artisanal breads with a crackling crust. The interior texture (crumb) will be moist and chewy.I have used this method for: San Francisco Sourdough bread (see my review of San Francisco Sourdough Starter); whole wheat bread; artisanal white bread; cheese bread; herbed bread; and both seeded and unseeded rye breads. I brought a basket of breads to a Superbowl party and they were a big hit--so much so that, two families asked for instructions and will begin baking breads for themselves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful crust!
*by N***B on February 10, 2025*

OMG this makes a huge difference in baking.I’ve always baked with a baking stone and water to get a good crust. But this does so much better a job. Perfect for round and rough loafs.It picks up color from the oil when baking but I assume it will eventually develop a good patina. And who cares? It’s for baking not looks.
