If you want to bake crispy artisan loaves in your home oven, try using a stoneware baker. Stoneware bread bakers simulate a brick oven to give you professional bread baking results at home.
There are a number of stoneware bread bakers on the market that make it easy for home bakers to make beautiful and delicious loaves in their home oven.
The Superstone® La Cloche stoneware baking dish is reminiscent of the ancient cooking methods used in Greece and Rome. It duplicates a professional brick-lined oven, creating a light crumb and crusty exterior. No need to soak it. Bakes round or oval loaves.
Some breads that were baked in the Cloche baker:
Classic Sourdough Bread (Baked in La Cloche)
This sourdough bread is made using the method outlined in Classic Sourdoughs.
This rye bread is made with a sourdough pre-ferment of medium rye flour, water and a mature sourdough starter.
The legend goes that Italians created this bread without salt because of the high tariffs on salt generations ago.
Superstone® Bread Dome – The stoneware material replicates the material used for centuries by fine professional cooks as well as in homes throughout the world. The domed shape allows air to evenly-circulate around the baker for a uniformly browned crust on your bread and the unglazed lid helps create the perfect environment for baking crackly breads.
