Emile Henry Pullman Loaf Bread Baker

The domed lid traps steam released by the dough during the initial baking phase. This moisture keeps the crust soft long enough for the bread to rise fully, resulting in a better rise and a crisp, professional-style crust.

While the ridged base is designed to prevent sticking, it is still recommended to lightly grease or flour the pan before adding your dough, especially if you are using a high-hydration recipe.

Yes, the HR ceramic material is thermal shock resistant. You can move the baker from the freezer directly into a preheated oven without worrying about the dish cracking.

This bread baker is oven-safe up to 500°F, which is more than sufficient for standard bread baking recipes that typically range between 375°F and 450°F.

The unit weighs 6.6 lbs, so it has a substantial, high-quality feel. It is sturdy enough to handle the heat retention required for artisan bread, but you should use oven mitts when handling it, especially when removing the lid.

The baker features a nesting design, meaning the lid fits inverted over the base. This significantly reduces the vertical profile, allowing it to stack easily in most standard kitchen cupboards.
