Emile Henry Artisan Bread Baker allows you to bake all kinds of generous sized home-made bread, just like those hand-crafted by artisan! Simply use white flour to bake a classic sourdough bread or mix flour types (spelled, rye, chestnut) to bake rustic, authentic loaves, explore different textures and flavors. Made from Emile Henry innovative ceramic, the Artisan Bread Baker helps create baking conditions identical to a traditional bread oven. It ensures your bread has the required level of humidity while baking to get a perfect, golden, crispy crust with a light and airy inside. The crisscrossed lines in the base prevent the dough from sticking, and the openings on both ends of the lid make it easy to manipulate. Lastly, upside down, the lid fits inside the base for compact storage. The bright glaze is resistant, non-porous, durable and easy to clean.
