Emile Henry Bread Loaf Baker, 9.5" x 6" in Charcoal

The Burgundy clay ceramic loaf baker is ideal for baking artisanal-style breads at home, especially when you want a well-shaped loaf and balanced moisture during baking. It’s a great pick for everyday loaves you’ll slice and serve throughout the week.

The Burgundy clay ceramic loaf baker is designed to hold humidity around the dough as it bakes. The vent holes let excess moisture escape so the crust can develop without the loaf getting overly wet on the surface.

Burgundy clay is used for its ability to deliver even, gentle heating. That steady heat can help bread bake more consistently from edges to center.

Start by checking the pan size your recipe calls for and compare it to the 9.5" x 6" dimensions of this ceramic loaf baker. If your recipe is written for a different size, scale the dough amount as needed so it can rise comfortably without crowding the pan.

For easier release, prepare the pan the same way you would a standard loaf pan, such as greasing it well or using parchment to create a sling. Let the loaf cool briefly before unmolding so the structure sets and the crust is less likely to cling.
