Sassafras La Cloche Brick Oven

Our Superstone La Cloche Bread Baker utilizes the steam generated by the moist dough within the bell, resulting in a delicious bread with a crackly , golden crust and light crumb. Roasts, chickens and fish bake as the flavors of the natural juices circulate within the dome, thus preserving moisture and reducing shrinkage. 11"D x 2"H.

This heavy stoneware dish and lid from Sassafras brings an ancient Roman and Greek cooking method to the present day. Once used as a portable oven for cooking bread, fish, and meats, la cloche (or cooking bell) now helps modern cooks bake lighter, crustier bread and juicier fish and meats. The dish also doubles as a rustic serving plate for finished foods. To use, arrange dough or meat on the bottom dish, cover with the domed lid, and place in the oven on the lowest oven rack. Be sure to season the dish and lid before use with a coating of cooking oil for best results.
