## Overview

The Brod & Taylor Baking Shell (Batard) is a lightweight aluminum baking dome designed to replicate the steam-trapping and heat-distributing benefits of heavy cast iron Dutch ovens. Weighing just 1lb 1oz and requiring no preheating, it creates the ideal environment for artisan bread with a crispy crust and classic rise. Its patented design allows mid-bake lifting to perfect texture, and it also serves as a convenient bread cover for freshness. Oven safe up to 550°F, this sleek tool is a must-have for millennial bakers seeking effortless, professional results without the bulk.

## Description

The Baking Shell creates the perfect environment for baking great bread. Lightweight and easy to handle, it requires no preheating. Heat quickly passes through the shell and steam is trapped under it. For the perfect combination of a classic dough rise and crackling crispy crust, lift the shell off halfway through baking.

Review: No regrets!! - I’m new to sourdough baking and after a ton of research I came across this shell after seeing it on TikTok and thought what a great and light alternative to a super heavy Dutch oven. I’ve baked a few times with a Dutch oven and was getting annoyed at how heavy it was, it was also not yielding me the desired results in terms of bread structure etc. I used this just once and I was blown away by how light it is and how easy it is to use!! Highly recommend.
Review: How to use properly - I bought the boule and the batard. I would suggest the batard for making bread rolls ( and they are amazing) the boule for making full loaves of bread. Little tip spray both with water before placing over dough and grease the inner rim to avoid dough sticking. Other than that, perfect.
