I got these cocottes from Aldi recently for $4 a piece! I made these tiny loaves for guests tonight. I'm going to cut them open like a bread bowl, stuff with brie, and stick back in the oven for individual baked brie to put out with charcuterie. No crumb because I am not cutting them until later when I stuff them. I'm SO PROUD of how they turned out, I was worried!
I used my regular sourdough recipe, and just took 4 pieces off, then shaped the remainder into a smaller than usual loaf.
100g rye starter
350g water
500g all purpose flour
Mix and autolyse for 1 hr
Add 10g salt, do 25 stretch and folds (or until it comes together)
Last night: 4 sets of stretch and folds 15-30 minutes apart. Let it sit for 8 hours on counter (I usually don't do so long because my starter is a beast. I opened the windows so my kitchen was extra cool and I could leave it out overnight without over fermenting). This morning: turned out on counter and separated 4 pieces off the main dough, just eyeballed in between a golf ball and tennis ball size. Shaped and put into a muffin tin that was lined with heavily floured paper towel squares I cut up. Cold fermented 5 hours. Put cocettes in at 450 for 45 minutes, scored loaves and cooked lie on 15 minutes, lid off 15 minutes. Forgot to turn it down to 400 when I took off the lids but they turned out okay.

These look great! Though I personally call them rolls.
Where are these crocks from?
I love them!! 🥰
I literally just got two of these! Did you have them all in the oven at the same time? I’m trying to figure out how to do the timing for two of them at once.
That’s adorable (I’m heading to Aldi after work)
