First try using the spun iron cloche that came from Bakery Bits this week. Not sure it's that much easier than a cast iron casserole; though it weighs ~2.4 kg vs the ~4.4 kg of the casserole, and it's easier to get the loaf onto the base, it's more of a faff to get the cloche on and over the loaf, especially as the base has a lip. I was trying to do this in the oven, mind; it would be much easier if taken out and done on the stovetop. Will have to try again with a loaf I haven't cocked up - this stuck to the banneton and then to the board I'd turned it out onto, hence the crap shaping etc. Decent crumb and a good taste, mind.
