Romertopf is a modern clay cooking pot with a clay cover. It is similar
to the cloche, a clay dome placed on a baking stone to serve as a
portable oven. This method of baking has been employed since antiquity.
There is a photograph of an Athenian cloche excavated from the Agora in
Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery.
