Cloche Oven Spring

Profile picture for user Edo Bread

Just happened to grab a picture that gives a pretty good feel for the oven spring I tend to get from a cloche. And, it also shows the cloche. That seemed like enough reason to post it.

Of what material is your cloche made? I need one now but I have to improvise.

Ive just started my path with bread making and this has my mouth watering so much. Absolutely beautiful.

What kind of bread is this? 

Hi Francis - I just saw your introductory post. Welcome and I hope you enjoy your bread baking adventures.! Thank you for the kind words. I believe this was a pretty basic loaf. Usually that means Bread flour, rye, ... I think I added some freshly sprouted grains and some flax and hemp seeds too.  My guess is this was about 70% hydration.
