Normalerweise gibt man das Brot in den vorgeheizten Ofen, gibt heißes Wasser in den Ofen, damit das Wasser am kalten Teig kondensiert und so verhindert, dass sich eine Haut bildet, die das Brot am Aufgehen hindert. Dann geht das Brot im Ofen besser auf, man nimmt dafür Ober/Unterhitze, damit die Übertragung nicht zu schnell ist. Oder man bäckt im Topf, macht diesen heiß und die kleine Backkammer sorgt dafür, dass das verdunstende Wasser ebenfalls im Topf bleibt und so dafür sorgt, dass die Verhautung später stattfindet. Führt ebenfalls zu grandios aufgegangenen Broten. Die Backschale nutzt beide Prinzipien auf geniale Weise, wie ich finde. Die Feuchtigkeit vom Brot wird genutzt und die Oberhitze wird abgeblockt, was ein schnelles Verhauten ebenfalls verhindert, die Unterhitze kommt ungehindert ran. Das Ergebnis spricht m.E., für sich. Die beiden Bilder zeigen das obere Brot mit Backschale gebacken, das untere mit kräftig Dampf ohne Dampf. Auf dem ersten Bild ist das Ergebnis. Die beiden Teiglinge sind genau gleich schwer.

I absolutely love this shell! My husband bought me this and the heavy weight oven steel for my birthday. They both are wonderful to use and produce great results. I have a number of good quality cast iron pans for my sour dough bread, but definitely prefer using this method. No long period of time preheating pans and the shell weighs very little. He did get me the rectangle one and I ended up returning that one and exchanging it for the boule shape. This is large enough and functional for all shaped breads. The only negative is I can only do one loaf at a time. Since I do not have to preheat the cast iron and only need to preheat the oven for the Brød and Taylor steel, it actually takes the same amount of time to do two of them. This system is expensive- but in my opinion well worth it. I highly recommend the steel and the shell for bread making!

I’ve had this Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell (Boule version) for about three months now, and honestly, it hasn’t gotten the attention or praise it truly deserves; this product and the company behind it are game-changers. This has given me by far the best and most consistent sourdough baking experience of my life. Before this, I spent money on two different Dutch ovens, tried every technique out there— I was even seriously considering buying a whole new oven because nothing was giving me the crispy crust, oven spring, and airy crumb I wanted reliably. Then I discovered this Baking Shell. I paired it with their base tray/steel, and if I hadn’t, I doubt I’d ever have achieved such killer loaves at home. No preheating the cover, super lightweight, easy to handle, traps steam perfectly, and the results look and taste professional — crackly crust, beautiful ear, open crumb. It’s honestly unmatched. Huge thank you to Brod & Taylor for creating something this brilliant and practically unrivaled in the home sourdough world. If you’re tired of heavy Dutch ovens and inconsistent results, do yourself a favor and get this — you won’t regret it!

Zum Brotbacken kann ich den Deckel sehr empfehlen. Er ist sehr leicht und braucht nicht mit dem Backofen erhitzt werden das spart Energie. Bei dem Preis war ich doch etwas enttäuscht da der Deckel verzogen ist. Aber das stört nicht beim Brotbacken.

I love the baking shell, I love how light it is and so much easier to work with than a dutch oven. My bread turns out amazing. My only complaint is that the finish is beautiful but after a few uses it it comes off in spots and leaves a tarnished spot. Doesn’t stop it working great just doesn’t look as pretty and i wonder how lone the finish will last. I would definitely buy again, well worth the money.
