The Bread Mat-L
Best durable mat for consistent sourdough baking.
The BreadMat-L is a reusable baking mat designed to replace parchment paper, fitting most popular baking vessels. Its strong handles facilitate safer and easier transfer of bread in and out of hot ovens. The unique, patented design promotes even heat distribution, leading to consistent browning and reduced burning on the bottom of loaves. Made from LFGB platinum food-safe silicone, it is rated for temperatures up to 500°F. This mat is specifically intended for use with 6-quart or larger Dutch ovens, as it may not fit well in smaller sizes. For optimal results, a heavy baking sheet can be placed on the oven's bottom rack to further prevent excessive darkening and protect the BreadMat.
