Measuring 12.5 x 8 x 5.5 inches and weighing just 1lb 1oz, it requires no preheating and ensures rapid heat transfer for perfect dough rise and crispy crust. Ideal for professional-quality bread baking with effortless handling and added versatility as a bread cover. ## Description The Baking Shell creates the perfect environment for baking great bread. Lightweight and easy to handle, it requires no preheating. Heat quickly passes through the shell and steam is trapped under it. For the perfect combination of a classic dough rise and crackling crispy crust, lift the shell off halfway through baking. Review: I’m new to sourdough baking and after a ton of research I came across this shell after seeing it on TikTok and thought what a great and light alternative to a super heavy Dutch oven. I’ve baked a few times with a Dutch oven and was getting annoyed at how heavy it was, it was also not yielding me the desired results in terms of bread structure etc. I used this just once and I was blown away by how light it is and how easy it is to use!! Highly recommend. Review: I bought the boule and the batard. I would suggest the batard for making bread rolls ( and they are amazing) the boule for making full loaves of bread. Little tip spray both with water before placing over dough and grease the inner rim to avoid dough sticking. Other than that, perfect. ## Features - The Baking Shell creates the perfect environment for baking great bread.
