It's getting steamy in here.
This clay cloche cradles bread as it rises -- in the oven, the cover traps steam to create a crunchy, chewy crust. It's one of the easiest ways to mimic bakery-style brick oven baking at home, which is normally tricky to do with a professional oven. Bakery breads with crackly crust (like top-notch baguettes) get their texture from steam in the oven. There are ways to mimic this in a home oven, but the cloche is the simplest way we've found.
