Helpful tips for baking

Grease the pan: It is not necessarily necessary to Emile Henry baking tin in grease due to the smooth surface, but it can help remove the bread after baking. Instead of greasing, it is often recommended to pollute the pan with flour.

Pan preheating: This can indeed form a dilemma, because traditional advice often suggests that baking tins must be preheated to promote a crispy crust. There are adjustments that you can make possible:

Traditional method: Normally you would place the empty baking tin in the oven while preheating and only put the dough in the hot baking tin just before you start baking. This helps to create a steam environment that contributes to the formation of a crispy crust.
Method with cold start: At some Emile Henry Products, such as the Grande Cru bread bin, you can put the dough in the baking tin before the oven is preheated. You then start with a cold oven and place the baking tin with the dough in it when you turn on the oven.

Baking

Placement in the oven: Place the baking tin with the dough in the right place in the oven. This is usually the center of the oven to guarantee an even heat distribution.

Baking time and temperature: Bake your bread according to the time and temperature that your recipe requires. Take into account the specific instructions of the Emile Henry Baking tin, since the baking time can vary depending on the model and the oven. Bake in your recipe according to the time and temperature. Remove the lid in the last 10-15 minutes from the baking time to brown the crust if necessary.

Tip: Use an overthermometer to carefully know the temperature

After baking

Remove from the oven: Use oven gloves to remove the hot baking tin from the oven. Place it on a heat -resistant surface and let the bread cool in the mold for a few minutes.

Remove bread: After cooling briefly, carefully turn the baking tin and remove the bread. If the bread is well prepared and the shape is correctly pollinated, the bread should easily come loose.

Cool: Allow the bread to cool completely on a rack before you cut it. This helps to improve texture and taste.
