Learning or creating new bread shapes has always been great fun for me. Yes, my goal is to always bake bread with a seductive aroma, flavor and texture, but as someone obsessed with trying to bake the best possible bread that I can at home, visual appeal is also a big part of the story.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been intrigued by the shape known as a couronne<\/a>, or crown.? To produce this shape classically requires a specialized proofing basket , which can be fairly expensive to acquire.??I decided to see if I could come up with a way of producing?something similar to a couronne without the expensive hardware.??What evolved?were two?methods of producing a smaller version of the couronne.? But what to name this new shape???After a brief?consultation with Janedo, our resident French bread connoisseur over at …Au Levain!<\/a>, we came up with?diad??me, or tiara.? Yes, a modern-day tiara is typically semi-circular?but?the early tiaras coming out of?ancient?Mesopotamia and Persia?were full circle (how’s that for a stretch?).??<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When looking at a couronne, I was always struck by the fact that it looks a bit like six tabati??re (tobacco pouch)?shapes linked together in a circle.? Why not, then,?link three individual tabati??re shapes in a circle?? This can be done in one of two ways,?either by : 1)?placing?three tabati??re shapes, inverted,?into a floured brotform or banneton, with an inverted drinking glass (its outside lightly oiled) at?the center to maintain the void space and then?proofing or?2) proofing three individual tabati??res on a couche and, immediately prior to oven loading, placing?the three tabati??res on the peel together in a circle and allowng the oven spring to conjoin the individual segments in the oven.
\n???<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

For both methods, I’ve used pain de campagne dough, the formula for?which is described here<\/a>, although there is no reason other doughs could not be used.? The shaping?of the?diad??me using a?brotform?can be seen below (notice a small bit of oil is used to enhance definition):

I wonder if this shaping technique will make its way onto YeastSpotting<\/a>?or?CLICK: Crusts<\/a>??????<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
