If you want to bake crispy artisan loaves in your home oven, try using a clay bread baker. These bread bakers simulate a brick oven to give you professional bread baking results at home. The secret is the clay lid — it traps the steam escaping from the bread dough, yet is porous enough to absorb some moisture and not return it to the surface of the loaf.

You wouldn’t think it but clay makes everything taste better! So, if you haven’t experienced cooking outside of your electric oven, but if you’ve ever had bread cooked in a wood stove, you know there’s a big difference. Even the smell of the bread is noticeably better. But, a wood stove isn’t the ultimate… a clay oven is. Check it out in the article below.
