The Brød & Taylor Bread Steel is designed to help home bakers achieve stronger bottom heat, better oven spring and crisper crusts without the weight of a much thicker baking steel. Made from carbon steel and pre-seasoned with flax oil, it offers a practical way to bring more intense, even heat into everyday baking.
Its lighter build makes it easier to handle than heavier steels, while still providing the heat transfer needed for breads, pizza and flatbreads. It is a useful choice for bakers who want the performance benefits of steel in a format that is simpler to lift, store and use regularly.
Use it for stronger crust development on hearth-style loaves, a better-coloured base on pizza and more confident baking across a range of doughs. The steel measures 35.5Ă—35.5Ă—0.25cm and weighs 2.5kg.
Usage & care
Place the bread steel in the oven before preheating so it can heat through fully. Once the oven has reached temperature, load your dough and bake straight away.
After use, allow the steel to cool before cleaning. Wipe or wash as needed, dry thoroughly and store in a dry place. As with other carbon steel bakeware, a light coat of oil after cleaning can help maintain the finish if needed.
Please note that this is a lighter-weight bread steel intended to be easier to handle than much heavier alternatives, while still giving a noticeable improvement in heat transfer and baking performance at home.
