Baking in a tagine

Hi everyone -- I had some leftover dough from some focaccia and thought I'ld try baking it in my small tagine. Baked loaf weighs 1 lb 5 oz. I let the dough rise the second time, pre-heated the tagine in a 400 degree C oven. Placed the proofed dough in the tagine, put the lid on and continued baking at 400 degrees. After 10 minutes I removed the lid. The tagine provides a moist environment allowing good oven push. Love my Emile Henri tagines!

I love this idea, thanks for posting it. I also have the Emile Henry tagine and never thought of baking in it.

This looks fantastic.  I don't own one, but you had a good idea!

I have the Emile Henry cloche and think it is great. I am sure this would create the same results.
