Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Boule) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking

Description

BAKERY-QUALITY BREAD AT HOME – Creates the ideal baking environment for professional-quality bread. The Baking Shell traps steam and evenly distributes heat for a superior dough rise, crispy crust, and airy crumb. Helps your loaves look professional with a crispy, golden crust and an airy interior.
NO PREHEATING REQUIRED – Unlike preheating a Dutch oven for 30-45 minutes, this shell requires no preheating. No need to risk touching scorching hot pots and lids. Just place your dough on a flat baking surface and cover with the shell. It also cools fast and won’t crack unlike ceramic or enameled cast iron.
LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY TO CLEAN – This ultralight shell weighs just 1 lb, unlike your typical 15 lb Dutch oven. Cleanup is simple with a quick wipe. Cast iron pots need to be scrubbed and reseasoned, which can take 20-30 minutes after baking. This baking shell makes bread baking faster and easier.
3 EASY STEPS – (1) Preheat your oven with a steel or stone. (2) Place your risen dough on the hot surface. (3) Cover with the shell. That’s it. After 20 minutes, remove the shell and finish baking uncovered to brown the crust. It’s the simplest way to bake artisan bread at home.
HOME-OVEN FRIENDLY – Designed for both gas and electric ovens. Works on stones, steels, or baking sheets. Food-safe aluminum withstands up to 550°F, contains no chemical coatings like PTFE or PFOA, and is FDA Tested. Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 5.5 in. Weight: 1lb 2oz.
DOUBLES AS A BREAD COVER – This Baking Shell also functions as a stylish bread dome to keep your loaves fresh when stored on a countertop, butcher block, or cutting board.
