Bread Cloche Bread Baker | Made to Order
A bread cloche baker makes beautiful and delicious bread similar to brick-oven bread in your home oven. The porous bell-shaped dome cradles bread as it rises. The cloche then traps steam to bake a moist center and crunchy, chewy crust.
No need to soak your cloche before baking. Prior to baking, flour the interior (you may season it with oil first if preferred). To protect your pottery, never expose it to extreme or drastic temperature changes between hot and cold. Cloche is oven-safe up to 450F.
Exterior measures approximately 12" wide and 6" tall. Interior measures 9.5" wide and 4.5" tall.
These bread bakers are made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for order to be complete and delivered.
Each piece is hand thrown on the wheel. While wet, the handle was attached to dome. They are then bisque fired, then received a final firing at cone 6. They are left unglazed to provide a porous surface.
All of my pottery is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. I only use lead-free non-toxic glazes.
Because all of my pieces are hand made, there may be slight variations in coloring and textures giving each a unique character that is functional and beautiful. Use it well, and enjoy.
