Help finding a topic
I saw a topic about covering the loaf with a cast iron pot when it was in the oven. I cannot find this topic anymore. If someone remembers the topic, can you please cut and paste the link here?
Thanks,

Hi, Brian.
For discussions of covering loaves during baking, I suggest you search on "steaming" and "magic bowl" and "no knead bread".

There's this from goetter on Dec. 16, 2007:

- preheated an upside-down Lodge "Combo Cooker" (a 10" dia. 3qt cast iron deep fryer-type pan with a cover that doubles as a 10" skillet. I invert this to make a cast iron Cloche of sorts) in a 450F oven. Baked the loaf in the iron pan 15 minutes covered, 25 minutes uncovered.
