Achieving bakery-quality bread at home often means dealing with heavy Dutch ovens and scorching-hot cookware, but not anymore. The Brød & Taylor Baking Shell (Batard) transforms home baking with a lighter, safer, and more convenient way to achieve professional results. By trapping steam and distributing heat evenly, it creates the ideal environment for golden, crisp crusts and airy, open interiors, all without preheating or the hassle of handling cast iron.
Traditional bread baking often requires preheating heavy Dutch ovens to extreme temperatures, a process that can be intimidating and risky. The Baking Shell delivers the same professional results without the stress. Lightweight and easy to use, it simply sits over your dough on a baking tray, trapping steam naturally as it bakes. The result? Bakery-quality loaves without the strain or danger of handling cast iron.
Great bread relies on the perfect balance of steam and heat, and the Baking Shell delivers both with precision. It captures steam to let the dough fully expand before the crust sets, while its highly conductive material ensures even baking throughout. The result is a loaf with a light, open crumb, rich flavour, and a beautifully golden, blistered crust, the true mark of artisan bread.
Unlike cast iron, which demands preheating and careful handling, the Baking Shell is designed for ease and safety. There’s no preheating, no heavy lifting, and no risk of burns or cracks. After baking, it cools quickly for effortless cleaning and compact storage. Modern in design yet true to baking tradition, it’s the stress-free way to bake artisan bread at home, with professional-quality results every time.
