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.

With the Baking Shell, you get the same results as traditional pre-heated and heavy cast iron vessels, without the stress of lugging around a searing hot and heavy pot. The most frantic part of bread baking is now the easiest. Just slide the bread dough onto any flat baking surface in your oven and place the shell over it.

Also used as a convenient cover to keep bread fresh when stored on a countertop, butcher block, or cutting board.

Bread Steel

The Bread Steel is the perfect balance of thickness and weight for baking great bread. It comes pre-seasoned with flax oil and ready-to-use. Light enough to handle easily and heats quickly.

All oven steels are not created equal. There are many choices for pizza steels or stones or cookie sheets. But bread is not a pizza or a cookie. Pizza steels are heavy to retain heat, but for bread this often results in burning the bottom of loaves. Cookie sheets can't take the heat of bread baking and will warp.

Just place it in the oven when pre-heating. When the oven is ready - so is the bread steel. Paired with our Baking Shell, it is the perfect combination for stress-free bread baking.

- Solid Steel Construction
- Pre-seasoned with flax oil
- Dimensions: 14" x 14" x 0.1" / 35.5 x 35.5 x 0.25 cm
- Weight: 5.6lb / 2.5kg
