Modern Bread Cloche, Online Exclusive
Bake splendid round loaves at home, crusty, golden, and worthy of any bakery. The Emile Henry Modern Bread Cloche turns your oven into a true bread oven, giving you rustic boules and sourdough rounds with a deep, crackling crust and a light, open crumb, all from a clean, sculptural silhouette designed to be seen. An online exclusive available only here, it's the contemporary take on a French classic, made in France since 1850, from the same refractory clay Emile Henry has worked for generations.
Why it bakes a better loaf
Great bread is made by steam. Fired from refractory Burgundy clay with the same properties as a traditional stone bread oven, the domed cloche traps the moisture rising from your dough and holds it as steam through the early bake, then lets it evaporate so the loaf sets tender and finishes crisp. The generous dome gives a round loaf room to spring and bloom, for the dramatic, artisan-style crust that a home oven alone can't build.
Designed to be seen
The Modern Bread Cloche is as much a design object as a baker. Its low, streamlined dome and clean lines are a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional cloche, at home on an open shelf, and striking enough to carry a finished loaf straight to the table. Because it's an online exclusive, you won't find it on store shelves; it's a piece for the baker who wants their tools to look as considered as the bread they make.
Features
- Crackling artisan crust- the domed ceramic traps and balances humidity, drying the surface just enough for a deep, crisp, golden crust.
- Light, open crumb- steady steam bakes the interior airy and tender, loaf after loaf.
- Room to rise- the dome lets round boules and sourdough spring freely without touching the lid.
- Modern sculptural design- a clean, contemporary silhouette that doubles as a striking serving and display piece.
- Online exclusive- a design available only online, direct from Emile Henry.
- Effortless to use- flour the base, place your shaped dough, cover, and bake; holds a 3½–4 cup flour recipe.
- Easy to clean- the glazed exterior is dishwasher safe and, like all Emile Henry ceramics, built to last for years.
- Recipe book included- tested recipes and tips to get you a beautiful loaf the first time.
- Made in France crafted in Burgundy from Emile Henry's signature refractory clay.
How it works
- Prepare and shape your dough into a round, following the included recipes or your own.
- Lightly flour the base, set the dough on the platter, and cover with the domed lid.
- Bake, removing the lid near the end if you'd like a deeper golden crust.
