What pan should I use to bake my bread? Metal, ceramic, glass, dutch oven…there are so many out there. What are the differences? What about non-stick? What temperatures can I use for each one? How can I stop my dough from sticking? How can I work out how much dough my pan will take? And what about pizza? How can I make the best one at home?

These questions, any many more, are answered in today’s episode with expert wholegrain sourdough baker and dear friend of the podcast, Elly from Elly’s Everyday. Prepare for over an hour of beautiful sourdough bread geekery that will enhance your baking, however you do it.

And if you want more, Elly kindly stayed on to record an aftershow where we answered supporter questions including how to create the best crust, talked even more about loaves that stick and shared tips on getting pizza to rise.
