Winner, winner! Mike, you've guessed what the next article in this series of baking artisan bread is going to focus on: how to bake bread dough in the cloche, and how the results compare to the two other methods we've explored thus far. While we don't have definitive answers for you at this point, we encourage you to experiment using the basic findings here to help guide you. The Emile Henry Cloche can also be preheated empty, so you could give that a try as well to see if you like the loaf it produces. One thing to keep in mind: be sure you shape your dough tightly into a boule since the cloche doesn't have any sides to support the dough as it rises upwards. Please feel free to share your results with us, and look for that article in the next few months. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
