Baking Shell (Batard)

Game changer

I have an openly hostile relationship with my oven’s top element. This clamshell has been the difference between ok bread and outstanding bread. I wasn’t aware something so simple could change things so dramatically. I just need to figure out a way to fit two side my side in my oven!!

How good is it?!

With an injury that made lifting my heavy cast iron Dutch oven hard work, I decided to shout myself the baking shell after reading about it in The Perfect Loaf newsletter. This is a game changer! Couldn’t be happier and my sourdough has not suffered. Brilliant work, Maurizio + Brod and Taylor!
