Baking in Flower Pots
Hello TFL-ers,
I don't own any bannetons so my boules usually end up looking a little on the flat and puddly side when I proof and bake them on a baking tray. I also haven't found any reasonably priced ones here in Ottawa, so I was wondering if I could adapt my recipes that require proofing baskets for terra cotta pots which I would then bake my bread in.
Do you think I would need to fiddle with the time and temperature? What pot sizes do you find give the most spherical loaf that imitates a round proofing basket?
