The most typical bread in Catalonia. It's a boule of dough, baked with the seam up.
So, the final rise is on their backs, this way? Any added ingredients, spices? They are beautiful, it sure would be hard to keep from digging in...

Looks beautiful!
I've seen it in books but not in the bakeries of Barcelona...
I don't think I would make it with the pinch of commercial yeast and might take the hydration up to at least 68%. Here is a link to Abebreadgallery's 2013 post on the formula that uses falling temperatures

Well done and happy baking.
According to the catalan standard, this is one kilo of flour, 580-620 ml of water, 200 gr of old dough, 20 gr of salt and 5-20 gr of fresh yeast.
