Here are some bread-making tips from Emerson Creek Pottery!

• For optimal results, choose a bread recipes that are rustic and hearty rather than sweet and buttery.
• Recipes that require between 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups of flour fit best in pan.
• Covered pan is made to hold up to 2 lbs. of dough.
• Excellent for baking no-knead method breads as well!
• Always grease or oil your Bread Pan, and please be advised that butter burns easily. We recommend Crisco, or olive oil!
• Unlike a terracotta bread pan, it is unnecessary to soak this pan before use.
• Keep your bake covered until the final 15 minutes to achieve a crispy golden crust.

How to Clean:

• We recommend wiping clean with warm water.
• Do not use soap, as the baking pan can take on the scents and flavors of soap.
• Don't worry about spots and stains! Those are the hallmarks of a well-seasoned bread pan.
