Baking vessel
You might say: what to bake it in
The surface or container the loaf bakes on or in.
- What it does
- Provides a baking surface or enclosure that can hold steam around the loaf.
- Ask
- Does this vessel give the bottom heat and steam this bread needs?
What to look for
- A loaf sits on a hot slab or inside a lidded pot
- The vessel has a hearth, walls or lid around the dough
Catalogue: Vessel
- Dutch oven: A lidded pot that traps steam released by the dough around the loaf. It counts by trapping steam under a lid, whatever its material or brand.
- Baking stone or steel: A stone or steel preheated so the loaf bakes on a hot surface.
- Deck oven: A bakery oven with steam injection.
- Loaf pan: A pan that holds shaped dough during proofing and baking.
- Wood-fired masonry oven: A masonry oven whose bricks or clay absorb heat during firing; after the fire is removed, retained heat bakes hearth bread.

A Dutch oven or cloche also works to keep the moisture given off by the bread during baking close to the surface
