baking dome
my friend the potter has just made me a stone ware baking dome and needs to know wether it should be glazed or not and as i have never seen one have no idea so if someone out ther ownes one could they please let mr know if it is glazed or not
thanks Geoff
Unglazed I believe.
With glazing on the inside of the dome, there's a possibility of condensation with a wet dough resulting in white spots on the loaf. I prefer unglazed. Remember the dome should be removed 10 ~ 15 mins into the bake to act as a venting step.
