Bread with a looser crumb (holes in the bread structure) looks good, tastes great and is the goal of many artisan bakers. I have learned that using a pre-heated baking stone (in my case a pizza stone) to kick-start the rise, or
Consider pizza crust. Baked at temperatues of up to 500°C in a professional pizza oven, it rises rapidly at the edge, forming a network of small holes and tunnels within the pizza.
, the rapid expansion of dough during the first few minutes of baking, caused by heat energy accelerating fermentation and expanding air bubbles.

The same principle applies when bread dough is placed on a pre-heated pizza stone. The stone transfers heat to the dough quickly, kick-starting the oven spring, which leads to a looser crumb.
Yep. I use a pizza stone to bake most of my bread, mainly because I already had one for making pizza. It handles most of my bakes:
On the rare occasions I bake more than this, I do it in two batches or cook at different levels in the oven using two pizza stones. Or use two loaf tins.

If you bake more than this regularly, a larger rectangular baking stone may be more appropriate. Kiln shelves are a low cost alternative. However, consider that larger stones needs more heat energy to get to temperature, so costs more money for each bake.
A pizza stone absorbs heat energy as the oven warms up. It warms up slower than the oven, so it needs to be pre-heated well in advance of the actual bake.
Now for the really important bit. Get the stone as hot as possible, up to 275°C (or as much as the stone can handle). More heat energy gives a better spring. When you add the dough to the oven, be sure to turn the temperature back down to what you should be baking at.
Baking Trials: Does A Baking Stone Really Make A Difference In Your Bread?
The time to do this mostly depends the volume of the stone … larger stone, longer warming time required. A thermapen can determine if a stone is at temperature. If this is not available, a good rule of thumb is to start warming up the stone at the start of the dough’s second rise.
The extra oven spring from the pizza stone will need scores to be a little deeper and longer. In the picture above, the loaf was scored with the same depth as normal, and as can be seen the score stretched to being flat. Deeper scoring would have allowed the loaf to have even more oven spring.
When moving dough onto a stone inside an oven, the aim is to minimise the time the oven door is open and keep the dough in the same shape.

An easy way to achieve this to begin with is to do the second rise on oiled/floured baking parchment (not greaseproof paper).
Then slide the parchment from the proving tray onto the pizza stone. Heat is conducted rapidly through the parchment when it touches the stone. The parchment can be removed after ten minutes, as the dough’s base will have hardened by then.
If you have one, you can also use a pizza peel, ideally a wooden one. The oven door is open for minimal time and there is full contact between dough and stone. It’s also the most difficult to execute correctly. The action must be quick and decisive both loading the dough onto the peel and delivering it to the oven.

The loaf above was made using the easy home-baked bloomer loaf recipe, but baking on a pizza stone. There is a better rise when compared with using a baking tray from room temperature.
So that’s one method of getting an artisan style look to your bread. There are other ways of achieving this, e.g. using high hydration dough. I’ll be covering this, and more, in future blog posts.Easy and quick artisan Italian rustic crusty bread at home, no knead, no machine, no dutch oven, with only 2 hour rise time.

Then you bake it on a preheated pizza stone (<–amazon), for a peasant style loaf that crackles in your hands like a dream, yet still soft on the inside. Perfect for dipping or to dunk into a hot bowl of vegetable soup.
The secret is a bowl of water steaming under the pizza stone while the bread is baking. The steam makes a crusty loaf!
Allow the loaf to cool off completely on a cooling rack on its side. Place it in a plastic bag and store on the kitchen counter at room temperature for a couple of days. I would not recommend freezing this kind of bread, instead if you find yourself with a stale chunk simply do as the Italian do: make a big pot of Ribollita or this Tuscan Pappa al Pomodoro soup.

In the past, we’ve written about the effects of different types of bakeware on your baked goods. Wondering if a pie bakes best in a metal, glass, or ceramic pie pan? We’ve got you covered. Same for cakes baked in glass, metal, and stoneware.

A bread and pizza stone. Does baking bread or pizza on a stone really make a difference in the finished product? We did the testing so you don’t have to.
The type of vessel you bake in, or on, will have an impact on your results. That’s because different materials transfer heat from the oven to your baked goods in different ways. Take brownies, for example. Glass takes longer to heat up, so if you bake brownies in a glass pan the edges may overbake by the time the center cooks through. Meanwhile, brownies baked in a metal pan will have shorter, softer edges because metal conducts heat more efficiently.
How To Make Artisan Sourdough Bread
To test the impact of baking bread on a pizza stone, I made several loaves (as well as both pitas and pizza) side-by-side: one on an aluminum baking sheet set directly on the oven rack and the other directly on a preheated King Arthur Bread and Pizza Stone, made of cordierite. A food-safe mineral compound, cordierite is essentially stone, and stone benefits baking by absorbing and holding on to heat, which it then transfers to your bread (or pizza) while baking. Stone is also slow to cool down, so it can radiate heat consistently for a long time. These qualities cause baked goods to cook and brown more evenly.
By comparison, aluminum is a conductor, meaning it’s great at passing heat through itself and into your dough and heats and cools down relatively quickly. Unfortunately, aluminum heats inconsistently and can cause both uneven baking and browning on baked goods.
I first tested the difference between these two materials using our Artisan Hearth Bread recipe, where we call for baking on a stone. The dough baked on the stone had better oven spring — that burst of rising that occurs in the oven before the bread develops its exterior crust — than the one baked on the baking sheet. Since oven spring is partly caused by the temperature increase of the gases in the dough, this tells me that the stone helped deliver ample high heat to the dough right from the start of baking. As a result, the loaf baked on stone was taller and had a more pleasantly rounded boule shape, while the loaf baked on a baking sheet was somewhat flat and disk-like by comparison.

I next turned to one of our most popular sourdough recipes: Naturally Leavened Sourdough Bread. While both loaves took on nice color, the one baked on the aluminum baking sheet was unevenly browned. The loaf baked on stone was more evenly browned all over, including the bottom. How dark you like your bread is largely a matter of preference, and personally, I’d rather eat the one baked on the tray for its more nuanced, nutty flavor. If I judge the two loaves on the evenness
