xBake bakery-worthy bread at home
Since 1850, Emile Henry has crafted durable ceramic kitchenware in France, blending heritage with modern efficiency. The Italian Bread Loaf Baker from Burgundy sits at the heart of that tradition, engineered to deliver a crisp, golden crust and a soft, airy interior. Its refractory ceramic construction, paired with a domed lid, creates the right humidity level to help crust formation while keeping the crumb tender.
Key benefits you can enjoy
- Specially designed covered baker promotes a bakery-quality loaf with a crisp exterior and light interior.
- Domed lid and ceramic walls trap steam for a dry, crackling crust and even moisture distribution inside.
- Ridges on the bottom prevent dough from sticking, while lid handles enable safer, easier handling.
- Compact storage: the base fits neatly inside the lid, helping you save cabinet space.
- For a richer crust, remove the lid during the last five minutes of baking, then let the loaf rest before slicing.
- Dishwasher safe and backed by a 10-year warranty, with a recipe book included for guidance and inspiration.
Emile Henry emphasizes responsible production: ingredients are natural, manufacturing takes place in France with a focus on waste reduction and water reuse. The result is a durable loaf baker that aligns with long-standing Bougne tradition and French craftsmanship. Each piece is rooted in Marcigny, in the southern Burgundy region, reflecting a commitment to quality and family-inspired workmanship. The kitchen tool is designed not only for performance but also for a thoughtful user experience—from preheating to serving—so you can enjoy a more hands-on bread-baking ritual without unnecessary fuss.
Practical tips for best results
- Preheat the baker and oven to ensure even heat transfer for a consistent rise.
- For a golden, crackling crust, remove the lid in the final five minutes of baking.
- Let the loaf cool briefly before slicing to preserve texture and flavor.
