Want to bake hearth bread -- without the hearth? Natural, porous clay shaped into a covered baking dish reproduces the effect you get from a brick oven.

• 11" x 8" high, with lid.
• Bell-shaped cloche perfectly cradles a 3-cup-of-flour loaf as it rises.
• Put the pan in the oven, cover it with the lid, and steam generated by the baking bread emulates a steam-injected oven, making the crispiest, crackliest crust (and moist, chewy interior) that's every home baker's goal.
