Crusty Cloche Bread Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Crusty Cloche Bread is a classic homemade bread with a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior. This bread is made using a cloche, a special baking dish that helps create the perfect crust. The dough is made with simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, and is left to rise overnight for maximum flavor. The bread is then baked in the cloche, resulting in a beautiful loaf with a golden crust and a delicious aroma. It's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed on its own.
