Product information
Few things beat freshly baked bread. With the bread baking cloche, you can bake the most delicious bread yourself at home in your oven! The unique design of the bread baking cloche ensures that steam is created during baking, allowing the bread to rise well and develop a delicious crispy crust.
But why is steam so important? In a bakery, as soon as the bread dough goes into the oven, some steam is added. The steam creates a thin layer of water on the dough, which delays the formation of the crust. This allows the bread to rise well during the first part of the baking time. Halfway through the baking time, the steam is gone, the bread has risen well and can then be baked further until it is crispy and golden brown. The bread baking cloche mimics this process, providing you with the ideal bread baking oven for home.
Enamelled
The bread baking cloche is made of enamelled cast iron. Cast iron retains heat for a long time and ensures good heat transfer to the bread dough. Because the bread baking cloche is enamelled, it is water-resistant, rust-free, easy to clean, and the dough is less likely to stick. Traditionally, bread was already baked in a cast iron pot, the Dutch Oven, where the pot was used as an oven. The bread baking cloche uses the properties and advantages of cast iron, but lets the oven do the work. The sturdy stainless steel lid knob ensures that you can easily grip the lid of the bread baking cloche even with oven mitts. With the integrated handles, you can easily move the entire bread baking cloche.
Baking bread
For baking bread, you use both the base and the lid together in the oven. How do you use the bread baking cloche? Place the oven rack low in the oven and put the bread baking cloche (both the base and the lid) on the rack. Preheat the oven with the bread baking cloche for at least 30 minutes at 240 °C. Use oven mitts to remove the lid, slide the bread onto the base plate and replace the lid. Lower the oven temperature to 220-230 °C and bake the bread for about 20 minutes. With an oven mitt, remove the lid and bake the bread for another 15-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let the bread cool on a rack.
