Bread Baking stone

Dara Robinson

Hi Guys,

Anyone know where I would be able to get a good Baking stone? One for Pizza's and bread (well the bread ones are thicker so probably that one tbh).
I'm looking to see if there is a place in Dublin or that delivers to Dublin

Not sure why you titled your thread "break baking stone", but you can get them in many places. I got mine in Anvil's in Bray. But that aside, just a wee tip to avoid it breaking on you: don't put a cold stone into a hot oven, don't put a hot stone into water to "wash" it, and don't splash cold water onto a hot stone, and you'll get years out of it. Also, don't use detergent to clean it. In the worst case, if there is caked on stuff on it, use an abrasive sponge with WATER ONLY, after the stone has completely cooled down.

Happy baking!

Well that was a typo

The one in Anvil's, was it one of those small round pizza ones with the mental frame/handle? If so its not what I was hoping for. I was hoping for a larger one and ideally thick (1-1.5 inches) as I was told that the thicker ones are better for bread, the smaller thinner ones are good for pizzas it seems

Ah I see. No worries. No, the one in Anvil was rectangular with rounded corners, but yes, it's on a wire frame. It certainly isn't as thick as 1 or even 1 1/2 inches though so it sounds like that one isn't the one you're looking for then.

Having said that, though, I do a lot of sourdough bread baking and the stone seems to do the job quite nicely.

tesco sell €15 granite counter savers(about same size as an oven rack), if you scrape off the rubber pads from the underneath they can be used as a baking stone, have mine a few years now, a bit heavy to lug in and out of the oven so leave it in most of the time.

Thermal mass in an oven is a good thing! Especially for bread baking and meat roasting!
