I specifically purchased this cloche to bake my no-knead bread. With a little experimenting here is what I do to achieve perfect bread. The following steps have worked for me, and I hope they will work for you. 1. preheat the cloche i.e. the top and bottom together in your oven for 20 minutes at the setting required for your recipe. 2. Using a 10 inch plate measure your parchment paper to the diameter of the plate. Using a pair of scissors cut the parchment paper to fit the diameter of the plate then lightly dust the parchment paper with flour. 3. Shape and form the bread dough then position the dough in the middle of the parchment paper to let rise. 4. Once the cloche is heated to the desired temperature for your bread recipe slide the parchment paper with the dough on it onto the cloche plate and cover. 5. Bake your bread to the desired time then check with a thermometer to make sure it is done. I use the KiriAnne thermometer. 6. Using the parchment paper edge you can then slide your bread onto a rack to cool. Note: remove parchment paper from under bread after you put it on the cooling rack to keep bottom from getting soggy while the bread cools. I get perfect bread every time I use this cloche every couple of days without fail. The craftsmanship is wonderful. It is so easy to use and produces wonderful bread. I use this cloche in my Pacific Pizza Oven without any problems. Would highly recommend this cloche.
