This lightweight aluminum bread cloche traps steam to create the perfect baking environment for a glossy, crackling crust and an airy, open crumb. Designed for use in standard home ovens, it’s compatible with baking steels, stones, and sheets, making it an ideal Dutch oven alternative for home bakers. Unlike heavy cast iron, this sourdough baking dome weighs just 1 lb and requires no preheating, saving time and reducing strain. Simply place the shell over your dough and bake—no lifting of scalding hot lids or awkward transfers required. After 20 minutes, remove the shell to finish browning the crust for professional results every time. Made from anodized aluminum, this bread baking shell is FDA tested, PTFE- and PFOA-free, and built to withstand oven temps up to 550°F. It also doubles as a stylish bread dome to store loaves on your countertop or butcher block. Whether you’re baking boules or batards, the Baking Shell delivers bakery-quality results with minimal effort. Perfect for sourdough enthusiasts looking to make crusty bread at home without the weight and hassle of a traditional Dutch oven. ## 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 won’t 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. That’s it. After 20 minutes, remove the shell and finish baking uncovered to brown the crust. It’s 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 550°F, 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DB6LB6GG | | ASIN | B0DB6LB6GG | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,539 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #57 in Food Domes | | Brand Name | Brod & Taylor | | Capacity | 1 load | | Color | Aluminum | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (181) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (181) | | Date First Available | 24 November 2024 | | Department | All Ages / Unisex | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00856805005661 | | Included Components | Instruction Manual, Shell | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Diameter | 33 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Baking Shell | | Item model number | SC-100/400 | | Manufacturer | Brod & Taylor | | Manufacturer | Brod & Taylor | | Manufacturer Part Number | SC-100/400 | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | SC-100/400 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Product Dimensions | 31.75 x 20.32 x 13.97 cm; 1.23 kg | | Shape | Round | | Size | Boule | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Bread | | UPC | 856805005661 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 550 Degrees Fahrenheit | | number_of_cups | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brod & Taylor - **Colour:** Aluminum - **Material:** Aluminum - **Shape:** Round - **Special features:** Lightweight ## Images ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Boule) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zt6o8BTbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Boule) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Brod & Taylor Bread Steel Original for Baking Bread & Cooking Pizza (14" x 14" x 0.1") - Brod & Taylor Bread Peel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/681094464-brod-and-taylor-ultralight-baking-shell-for-sourdough-bread-boule](https://www.desertcart.it/products/681094464-brod-and-taylor-ultralight-baking-shell-for-sourdough-bread-boule) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
