Brod & Taylor Bread Steel

Meet the Brod & Taylor Bread Steel, the lightweight steel built for heavy-duty baking performance. When it comes to baking bread, especially sourdough, the carbon steel Bread Steel is far lighter than a hulking, scorching hot Dutch oven—and when paired with a Brod & Taylor Baking Shell, it turns out professional-quality loaves. But, the Bread Steel does more than bake bread—try it for any baking project, whether it’s cookies, pizza or roasted veggies. It’s light enough to lift (just 5.6 pounds) but sturdy enough to handle high heat without warping.

Made from ultra-durable carbon steel andpre-seasoned with flax oil, it’s ready to use straight out of the box. It heats quickly, retains heat beautifully and regulates temperature in even the most finicky ovens. Pair it with the Brod & Taylor Baking Shell for a whole new take on the home sourdough experience—it traps steam and holds heat like a Dutch oven without the lengthy preheat for sourdough with crisp, evenly browned crusts (and no burnt bottoms). We tested it against heavier steels and ceramic stones—this lightweight version delivered consistency, easier handling and faster cleanup.
