Baked in a wooden frame.

This is an older way of baking bread, probably unique to Germany and other German speaking countries. The dough is placed and baked in a wooden frame (Holzrahmen). I used the dough of a basic miche but placed in a frame made of maple wood. It makes a wonderful moist bread.

Very nicely done!

Do you wet the wood before baking or is it put in the oven dry. I notice that one end of the frame shows signs of heat/burning and the other doesn't.
