Rolls in oblong clay cloche

My subject says most of it.  I love baking in my cloches.  I would like to bake rolls instead of loaves.  I will try this week just placing the dough side by side.  I expect that the rolls will expand and connect as an oddly-shaped loaf. 

I wondered if anyone knew of or had a concept for the separation of rolls in a cloche.  I'm thinking ceramic dividers with the rough shape of the bottom of the cloche.  I have not found anything like this on the web.

Suggestion:

This  is a product I like very much (below).  But for rolls how about cupcake papers side by side -spray sides and bottom of papers with PAM. The dough balls could rise and make contact if you push them close to each other. Use strips of parchments to line side of cloche to prevent sticking.  I hope you find the right way for your cloche!
