Re-creating bakery-quality bread at home doesn’t need to involve lifting heavy Dutch ovens or handling dangerously hot cookware. The Brød & Taylor Baking Shell (Boule) is a lightweight, easy-to-use alternative that delivers the same professional results with far less stress. By trapping steam and evenly distributing heat, it creates the perfect conditions for beautifully risen loaves with a crisp, golden crust and airy crumb, without the need for preheating.
Traditionally, bakers have relied on preheated cast iron to achieve a good rise and crust. The Baking Shell makes that unnecessary, offering the same professional-quality results with none of the risk. There’s no need to juggle a heavy, scorching-hot pot; just place your dough on a flat surface in the oven, cover it with the shell, and let it work its magic.
The combination of steam retention and efficient heat transfer is key to great sourdough. The Baking Shell traps steam at the start of the bake, helping your dough expand fully before the crust sets. Lifting the shell halfway through baking releases steam, ensuring a crisp, golden finish with just the right amount of crackle. The result is bread with an open, airy interior and a beautiful artisan crust.
Weighing just 500g, the Baking Shell is far lighter and safer to handle than cast iron, and it cools quickly once removed from the oven. Crafted from pure anodised aluminium with no coatings or additives, it’s food-safe and FDA tested. Beyond baking, it also doubles as a stylish cover for fresh loaves stored on your counter or cutting board, helping keep bread fresher for longer.
