I made couronne Bordelaise for this month's BreadBakingDay [1] ("shape" theme; deadline tomorrow so all you bread-shapers get yours in quick if you want to participate!)

Detailed instructions here: http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2008/01/31/shape-crown-couronne/ [2]

This is a pretty easy shape to do, and does not require a special banneton although they make them and I was sucker enough to get one. This is a good shape for slashophobes since no slashing is required.
