xOverview
The Bread Steel Original from Brod & Taylor brings bakery-quality baking to home ovens. Measuring 14 by 14 inches, this slim, sturdy steel is available in two thicknesses—Original at 0.1 inch and Max at 0.15 inch—so you can choose the balance of speed and rigidity that suits your kitchen. Built from durable carbon steel, it delivers even, intense heat that helps produce a crisp crust and a chewy interior, echoing the results you’d expect from a professional setup, but without the bulk of a stone.
Why bakers love it
- Thin, fast-heating design: Original 0.1 inch thickness preheats quickly and retains heat for multiple bakes.
- Lightweight and easy to handle: 5.6 lb for Original or 8.6 lb for Max makes sliding in and out safer and simpler.
- Pre-seasoned and ready to use: flax oil finish protects the surface and kickstarts your baking journey.
- Crust-first performance across doughs: suitable for sourdough, artisan loaves, pizza, flatbreads, and more.
- Versatile placement: use in the oven, on grills, or under broilers for varied results.
Real-life baking possibilities
Picture an airy sourdough with a blistered crust and an open crumb, or a chewy demi-baguette with a golden exterior. Back-to-back pizza nights feel achievable when heat builds quickly and holds steady across bakes. The slim profile fits most home ovens, making it a practical upgrade for everyday baking and special occasions alike.
How to use and care
- Preheat the Bread Steel Original alongside your oven to create a unified heat base for each bake.
- Slide dough onto the hot surface for crisp crusts, then bake through the desired stage of doneness.
- After baking, allow the steel to cool, wipe clean, and store nearby baking sheets for quick access.
