I thought Barbara's post was interesting because I tried to make batter 
bread using a clay pot, and while it rose nicely, the bread flattened out 
during baking and came out to dry and crumbly. I wasn't impressed but would 
like to give it another try.  Any suggestions from the seasoned veterans 
out there?

Thanks,
