Makes great potatoes. Just bung them in and cook

Well that was disappointing, I thought from the title it was going to be a follow up to your coffee venture.

I thought a similar thing - venturing into the world of medicinal cannabis - get stoned and play better like Charlie Parker...

How do you get the bread out of the small opening?

I feel bread envy a-coming

 

[Halfers]

Just for clarity sake, as the link in my previous post didn't bring up a preview pic, this is what I use for bread. Pre heat it in the oven to make it nice and hot and put your formed dough in it. Only really good for hand formed loaves as a bread tin won't fit in it. I'm going to try using it for potatoes at some point.

Better design for putting in the dough than the deep Le Crueset I use

Did I mention bread envy?

Going through a phase of double dough so too big for a Dutch oven technique

The base is only an inch or so deep, but I usually transfer the dough out of the banetton onto a floured flat baking tray and slide it off into the base. Dome on and in the oven. I've broked one dome in the past when I knocked it against the top of the oven. I imagine doing that with a Le Creuset would more likely destroy the Oven 😛

Well I did spend the morning at Broadgreen, fortunately with the results being 'can't find anything wrong'.
