Bread Pan With Baguettes

The Perfect Amount of Steam

The Challenger forms a tight seal between the cover and the base, trapping the perfect amount of steam you need for bread with crackling crust, rich colors, open scores, and full volume—each and every time. See the pan.

Versatility Matters

Bâtards, Boules, Baguettes. Ciabatta, Focaccia, Pizza. Cinnamon rolls, Dinner rolls, Fougasse. The Challenger bakes them all to perfection. Let’s bake.
