Holidays and cold weather make the perfect time to work on my baking skills. And with the clay bread oven I got for Christmas, called La Cloche, its an easy task!
I used a french bread recipe provided in the instructions, but will try out all my favorite recipes. After the bread had risen, I placed it in this bell-shaped baking stone and baked it at 450 degrees for about 1/2 hour.
The bread that emerged was the most amazing I've ever achieved at home. A crispy crust and moist, fluffy inside -- this was really as good as any bakery.
Thanks mom and dad!
