Dexam Terracotta Bread Baker

Bake the perfect loaf of bread every time with this authentic terracotta bread baker! Made from pottery clay, this baking dish replicates a traditional brick bread oven, with the lid trapping steam inside to maintain an even temperature throughout the duration of baking, and create a thick, crispy crust. What's more, the dish features a ribbed base to prevent bread from sticking. 

To use, simply place the proved dough inside the vessel and bake. Prior to using, the baker requires seasoning before first use: 1) Fully immerse in warm water and soak for 30 minutes. 2) Dry naturally before applying a coat of vegetable oil to the inside of the base and lid. 3) Place into a cold oven and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes until the oil is fully absorbed. 4) Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Made of pottery clay, terracotta vessels can be used for slow cooking, stewing, baking and broiling because of its extraordinary properties of retaining warmth, moisture, and nutrients well.

Please note, this baking dish is made from pottery clay which is unglazed. Unglazed terracotta will soak in fats and oils causing it to stain. This is a design feature that improves the non-stick performance of the baker over time.
