No More Burnt Bottoms
All oven steels are not created equal. There are many choices for pizza steels or stones or cookie sheets. But bread is not a pizza or a cookie. Pizza steels are heavy to retain heat. That’s great if your pizza is cooking in minutes, but for bread this often results in burning and scorching the bottom of loaves. Cookie sheets can’t take the heat of bread baking and will warp.
Effortless Handling, Superior Results
Our Bread Steel is the perfect balance of thickness and weight for great bread. It comes heat-treated for rust protection, seasoned, and ready-to-use. Light enough to handle easily, it also heats quickly. Place it in the oven when pre-heating. When the oven is ready – so is the bread steel. Paired with our Baking Shell, it is the perfect combination for stress-free bread baking. Our steel is also designed for the ultimate crispy crust of a pizza. With the seasoned surface, cleanup is easy and cheese slides right off.
FAQ
How do I clean the Bread Steel?
Regular cleaning of the Bread Steel isn’t necessary after every use—most of the time it won’t need anything or maybe just a simple wipe-down with a cloth. However, if cleaning is required, wait until the steel has cooled, then rinse it with warm water and use a soft sponge or firm bristle brush. If you choose to use soap, be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry the Bread Steel completely to prevent rust. Keep in mind that using soap may strip some of the seasoning, so you might need to re-season it afterward by applying a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil (like flaxseed oil) and heating it in the oven at 260°C for one hour.
Do I need to season the Bread Steel?
The Bread Steel comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. Over time, if seasoning needs to be refreshed, follow the same procedure used for cast iron or carbon steel pans. Simply coat the steel sparingly with a high-smoke-point oil (flaxseed oil is recommended) and bake it at 260°C for one hour. Allow it to cool completely in the oven before handling.
The bottom of my bread is too dark. What should I do?
Ovens can vary greatly in how they distribute heat, so some people may find that the bottom of their bread becomes darker than they prefer. To adjust, place a sheet of aluminum foil directly under the Bread Steel—between the steel and the oven rack it is sitting on. This will slightly lower the steel’s surface temperature, helping to prevent overbaking or burning while still ensuring an even bake.
How do I remove spots or scratches from my Bread Steel?
Some spots and scratches are completely normal and will naturally develop as you use your Bread Steel and won’t affect its performance. These marks don’t need to be removed, but if you notice stuck-on residue that might smoke or smell during your next bake, here’s how to clean it:
- Use a firm bristle brush or sponge to scrub off the residue. If necessary, use a small amount of hot, soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry the Bread Steel completely to prevent rust.
- Reseason the Bread Steel. Simply coat the steel sparingly with a high-smoke-point oil (flaxseed oil is recommended) and bake it at 260°C for one hour. Allow it to cool completely in the oven before handling. This will restore the seasoning and keep your Bread Steel performing at its best.
What size is the Bread Steel?
The Bread Steel measures 35,5 x 35,5 x 0,25 cm and weighs 2,5 kg.
Can I bake more than one loaf at a time?
The Bread Steel is designed to accommodate one standard loaf at a time. However, you can bake multiple smaller breads, like two demi-baguettes side by side or some crusty rolls. If you’re using the Bread Steel with the Baking Shell, only one shell will fit on the steel at a time.
