Pain De Tradition sourdough baked in my La Cloche
This is yet another sourdough version of the Pain De Tradition. I baked this in my La Cloche bell for 15 minutes covered starting at a 450 oven and then turning it down to 350F at the start of the bake for one hour total convection bake time.
The taste is very nice and I can taste a hint of the extra organic white wheat that was added.
Early oven shot later after removing Bell cover! The La Cloche was pre-heated with oven.

Paul, Thank you! I haven't got my IRT yet..I want to check the La Cloche base heat compared to my thick stones on my next bake!

I like the height. Looks very tasty. How many inches across would that loaf be? Dave
Hi Dave, Thank you! You asked just in time before dinner..it's half gone now..so what's left is from the center across right at just about 8-81/2"W 41/2"H. I'm not sure how you measure Width..the flat base on the bottom is 6" across!

Thanks Sylvia. Thats a nice size for a loaf. Most of the time there is just 2 of us so that's perfect. Dave
and more! Wow! Very nice, as always!

How exciting! I would start a bread catering business tomorrow if I had baked a loaf like that. Bread that beautiful should be shared!
