Features
- BAKERY-QUALITY BREAD AT HOME Creates the ideal baking environment for professional-quality bread. The Baking Shell traps steam and evenly distributes heat for a superior dough rise, crispy crust, and airy crumb. Helps your loaves look professional with a crispy, golden crust and an airy interior.
- NO PREHEATING REQUIRED Unlike preheating a Dutch oven for 30-45 minutes, this shell requires no preheating. No need to risk touching scorching hot pots and lids. Just place your dough on a flat baking surface and cover with the shell. It also cools fast and wont crack unlike ceramic or enameled cast iron.
- LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY TO CLEAN This ultralight shell weighs just 1 lb, unlike your typical 15 lb Dutch oven. Cleanup is simple with a quick wipe. Cast iron pots need to be scrubbed and reseasoned, which can take 20-30 minutes after baking. This baking shell makes bread baking faster and easier.
- 3 EASY STEPS (1) Preheat your oven with a steel or stone. (2) Place your risen dough on the hot surface. (3) Cover with the shell. Thats it. After 20 minutes, remove the shell and finish baking uncovered to brown the crust. Its the simplest way to bake artisan bread at home.
- HOME-OVEN FRIENDLY Designed for both gas and electric ovens. Works on stones, steels, or baking sheets. Food-safe aluminum withstands up to 550F, contains no chemical coatings like PTFE or PFOA, and is FDA Tested. Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 5.5 in. Weight: 1lb 2oz.
- DOUBLES AS A BREAD COVER This Baking Shell also functions as a stylish bread dome to keep your loaves fresh when stored on a countertop, butcher block, or cutting board.

We were looking for something bigger than our 4.5 quart le Creuset Dutch over for baking our oval sour dough bread, which would have ended up weighing at least 15 lbs. Further research and we found this shell dome. We are very satisfied with the ease and lightness of this baking method. Our first loaf came out big, beautiful and perfectly baked. Never again will I use cast iron.

Great alternative to baking sourdough in cast iron Dutch oven. I use this with a cast iron pizza peel to bake my round loaves, much easier.

Works as described. It’s light weight and easy to use. The handle on the side instead of on top helps to place it over the boule with little effort. It heated up quickly and produced a nice crispy crust. Also, it’s very easy to clean.

First loaf of bread had great oven spring and the bottom crust was thinner and easier to cut through than with the preheated cast iron dutch oven I have been using. I baked it on a stone with parchment underneath and launched it with a peel. It was so much easier than using the heavy and hot dutch oven. The boule size is plenty big for a batard and check the dimensions of your stone or steel to make sure it will fit. I took one star off because I think it is overpriced for what it is, but I am very happy with the function so far.

Like the title says, it works as advertised. I bake bâtards, and the shell encourages oven spring. I've baked two loaves with it, and the results are consistent so far.

Overall I would say this is a great product if you make a lot of sourdough. The dome is lightweight and you get a good rise with it. It heats up fast and the knob in the front makes it very easy to grab out of the oven.

I'm not a beginner baker. I was very excited about getting this shell, I mulled about expending that much money but I finally gave in and ordered one. Up to now I have been baking sourdough for many years in the Romertopft clay bakers with amazing and consistent results. However, they are very heavy and cumbersome to take in and out of the oven when you bake frequently as I do. So I was hoping this shell would solve that problem. I prepared my usual dough and split in 3 loafs. I baked the first one using the shell and the results were not good (photo below) it came out flattened and burnt around the sides, same result with the second one so for the third loaf I went back to my trusty Romertopft and you can see the huge difference in the spring and even colored crust. I still have it and I'll give it another try before deciding to sent it back, but honestly I don't have high hopes of better results. Talking to other bakers I've gotten to the conclusion that the Romertopft shields the sides of the dough a lot better than the shell. I'll update after the second try **UPDATE AFTER SECOND TRY** I have decided to keep it and tweak the way I bake the bread. Not having to lift heavy vessels in and out of the oven has convinced me to put a bit more effort into finding how to make it work. The second time I used it I decreased the time in the oven to 20 mins after I uncovered the dough and also I lowered down the temperature. The third loaf looks much better I think. We'll see.
