Emile Henry Round Bread Baker EH345507 – Red
Product number: 32582
An all-in-one baker’s friend, Emile Henry’s beautiful red Round Bread Baker is a professional piece of kit that will have other bread bakers drooling with envy (especially when they smell the just-baked results of your home-made bread). Based on the original Emile Henry Bread Cloche, it’s a 2-in-1 mix, make and bake combo that’s been created for bakers who want their baking equipment to be as efficient as can be in every possible way – for use and for storage.
Separately the pieces are great at what they do and, when combined, they replicate the atmospheric heat of a traditional stone-built baker’s oven – allowing you to bake crisp-crusted rustic loaves in any modern stove. Brilliantly designed, with well over a century of baking know-how, the heat-retentive properties of this special ceramic will keep a loaf warm for several hours after baking so you can enjoy it ‘fresh from the oven’ even if you’ve planned ahead and baked it earlier in the day. And, when the bread’s been baked, presented and eaten, both pieces can go into the dishwasher to be cleaned and the tray stacks neatly inside the dual-purpose bowl for storage.
How to use the Emile Henry 2-piece Round Bread Baker
- Mix your ingredients in the generous ‘mixing bowl’ part. It has sloped sides, so there’s plenty of room to get your hands inside to mix and knead the ingredients for your dough, then pop the flat lid on top to make the perfect environment for a first prove.
- After the first rise, the roles of the two pieces are reversed. Knock back the dough on your worktop and shape it into a simple ball then flour the criss-cross markings on the baking tray (that was your lid), pop the dough on top and the domed bowl becomes the lid while your dough proves for the second time. (Now is the time to pre-heat your oven.)
- Once the dough has doubled in size, brush the top of the dough with water, make a cut in the top to let the bread expand in the oven (more cuts are optional if you feel the need), re-cover with the domed lid and put the whole Bread Baker into the oven. The curved shape of the lid encourages steam to form which helps create a crispy, flaky crust on your loaf while preventing any risk of scorching, and the lugged handles at the sides act as vents so there’s no risk that your loaf will be ‘soggy’.

About Emile Henry
With a name that’s blended from that of the Monsieur Henry who first became a potter in 1848, and his grandson, Emile, who rejuvenated the company after the 1st World War, Emile Henry make ceramics that are famous for their resistance to intense heat, practicality, durability and for their high-quality, colourful glazes. Now run by the sixth generation, Emile Henry ceramics are still made to the very highest standards – and, to prove their authenticity, each hand-finished piece is signed on its base by an artisan potter in the Marcigny workshop, deep in the heart of Burgundy, France. But the Henry family’s greatest pride comes from knowing that their products make our cooking and baking of cooked-from-scratch food so much easier and more enjoyable.
