Bread Loaf Baker Burgundy (Emile Henry)

For the sandwich bread lovers, the gluten-free bakers, the rye enthusiasts, this one's yours. The Emile Henry Bread Loaf Baker takes all that crusty artisan magic and shapes it into a classic loaf, perfect for everything from everyday sandwich bread to specialty bakes. Like its round and Pullman siblings, this burgundy beauty uses refractory ceramic and a domed lid to create just the right humidity while baking, resulting in that unbeatable combo of crispy crust and soft, tender inside. The clever holes in the lid help your dough rise higher while letting steam escape for a dry, crackly crust, and the ridges on the bottom keep your dough from sticking. Lid handles make it easy to maneuver, even with oven mitts on. Sized at 9.4" x 5.9" x 4.9" with a 2.1 quart capacity, it handles recipes with up to 4 cups of flour, about a 1.5 lb loaf, just right for week's worth of sandwiches. And like everything Emile Henry makes, it's crafted in France with a 10-year guarantee. Homemade sandwich bread that actually beats the store-bought stuff? Absolutely possible now.
