Italian Bread Loaf Baker | Burgundy

I baked bread worked beautifully. Bread came out nicely browned. Did not stick. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this bread loaf baker specifically because I wanted to make loaves instead of sourdough rounds all the time. For reference I usually make sourdough bread in either my Staub or Lodge dutch ovens and this was my first time making bread in a ceramic baker. After reading the EH instructions and seeing a few youtube videos, I gave it a try. I used the same multi-seed recipe I normally do for a boule I bake in my Staub, so it didn't fill out the EH baker, which is a bit larger. I preheated the loaf baker at 485 F (since ceramic generally heats up faster than cast iron) and then once I took it out, I just tipped my bread into it directly from the loaf-shaped proofing basket without greasing the baker or putting in some flour beforehand. I scored my bread, gave it a healthy spritz of water on and around the loaf, sealed it and baked it at 450 F for 25 min, before uncovering and baking for an additional 25 min. It came out perfect - crispy, chewy thin crust with a spongy and soft interior. If I were to double my recipe, I'm sure I would get better height, but I like the smaller size. I was also pleased that I had no need for parchment paper or greasing the baker. My bread just popped right out when I tipped it over and the baker stayed relatively clean. The additinal bonus is that the loaf baker is light, so for those who find enameled and cast iron ovens too heavy, this is an excellent alternative. Also, it cools down much quicker than cast iron and it looks pretty set out on my kitchen hutch. This is made in France so the enamel and craftsmanship is quality and it feels like it will last a long time. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy home baking and would like sandwich-stylebread!

I love the Emile Henry brand. I have 6 different types of bread bakers from Emile Henry and love how my bread turns out. They are the best investment for increasing the quality of my bread. They are lighter than using cast iron, but still heavy duty enough to produce the perfect crumb and crust. Don't get a cheap alternative. These are made from fine burgundy clay from France. They can withstand high heat requirements for baking good sourdough loaves.

This is a wonderful bread baker. I use it every week to make my weekly loaf of sourdough. I got this because it was recommended by King Arthur and I have no complaints. It is a gorgeous color, it is also nice and heavy.

This pan is beautiful! It has definitely helped up my bread game! I have been making sourdough bread for years – I primarily use the formulas from Ken Forkish’s book Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast. I make one batch at a time which yields dough of a little more than 1 kg, and bake in two batches in a round, Lodge, cast-iron Dutch oven. These loaves do come out beautifully – but the boule shape is sometimes difficult for making sandwiches (Some slices are larger. Some slices are smaller) Enter the Emile Henry Italian bread loaf baker, and not only do I get beautifully shaped bread that slices into perfect sandwich slices, it has also shortened my bake time since the entire 1 kg of dough will fit in here and bake all at the same time! The crust doesn’t have quite as much crunch as a loaf, coming out of a preheated Dutch oven, but given that I am using these for sandwiches that has actually worked out pretty well. I bake at 450° for just about an hour – have still been using a temperature probe just to make sure it’s done, but this pan has been performing beautifully. One word of caution – I did have one loaf start to stick to the inside of the lid. Thankfully, I noticed before I baked it and was able to change directions, but that would’ve been a bit of a mess. With a little bit of butter and flour coating on the inside of the bottom pan, I have not had any problems getting the loaf out or having it stick to the pan. Overall, I love it. It is a bit expensive and maybe if you only casually make bread, it might not be worth it? That is subjective though. If you watch, you can definitely get it on sale I got mine for around 40% off just before Christmas. If you are into bread-making, and looking for a large pan to make sandwich loaves, go for it – I don’t think you will be disappointed!

This bread bakers gives amazing results every time. It gets as close as you can to a bakers steam oven as you can in a domestic oven. Great crusty finish on all types of bread including sourdough. The easy to clean glaze on the baker is a boon. Highley recommended for that professional finish.

Beats having to lift a heavy cast cocotte, although I still use both the Staub and Emile Henry bread baker when I need to make two loaves. I just find it easier to slice the loaf than the cob. Makes beautiful bread.

Faccio il pane in casa da sempre, ma devo dire che da quando uso Emile Henry , il pane oltre che molto bello da vedere, è anche buonissimo. Cottura perfetta, croccante fuori e morbido dentro. Mai più senza Emile Henry!
