Emile Henry Bread Cloche

The Emile Henry Bread Cloche with its bell shaped cover allows you to proof your bread directly in the bread cloche. The lid traps steam from the baking bread to create an environment similar to a steam-injected oven. The steam gives the bread a crunchy, chewy crust. Our ceramics allow our products to be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven (+250°C/500°F).The Emile Henry Bread Cloche is sized for a round loaf made with 3-cups of flour. Recipe and Instruction booklet included. A cloche works by trapping moisture that evaporates from the dough as it bakes. The dough expands, swelling into a plump loaf of bread. Once the moisture evaporates, the loaf bakes into a crisp, thin, golden crust.
