Baking Stone 21 cm

The 21 cm baking stone is a practical accessory for a tandoor, oven or traditional cooking area, designed for flatbread, bread, pizza and other dough-based products. It helps achieve more even baking, a better browned base and a texture closer to baking on a hot stone.

Compared with a simple metal tray, the baking stone heats gradually and transfers heat more gently. The dough comes into contact with the hot surface, helping form a more natural crust on the bottom while excess moisture is released more effectively.

The 21 cm diameter is suitable for small and medium products: flatbread, small bread, mini pizza, pies, rustic cakes and individual baked goods. It can be used with compatible medium or large tandoor racks if the size allows stable positioning.

🔥 Why a baking stone is useful

During baking, dough needs a surface that transfers heat steadily and evenly. A baking stone helps stabilize temperature and achieve a result closer to traditional baking.

The stone helps to:

✔ bake dough more evenly;
✔ form a better browned base;
✔ reduce excess moisture at the bottom;
✔ create a more natural crust;
✔ prepare flatbread and bread in a traditional style;
✔ use the heat of the tandoor or oven more efficiently.

It is a simple but very useful accessory for those who want baked goods with a more authentic taste.

🥖 Perfect for flatbread, bread and pizza

✔ mini pizza;
✔ rustic cakes;
✔ pies;

🔥 Baking stone vs metal tray

SIMPLE METAL TRAY

• heats quickly and may transfer heat too aggressively;
• the dough base may brown unevenly;
• excess moisture is harder to release;
• the result is closer to regular tray baking.

BAKING STONE 21 CM

• heats gradually;
• transfers heat more evenly;
• helps bake the base better;
• is suitable for flatbread, bread and pizza;
• creates an effect closer to hearth-style baking.

🪵 Recommended fuel for tandoor

For baking in a tandoor, well-dried natural wood is recommended:

✔ Beech
✔ Hornbeam
✔ Oak
✔ Acacia
✔ Other well-dried hardwoods

Well-dried wood provides more stable temperature, cleaner burning and less smoke.

Do not use chipboard, MDF, painted, lacquered, impregnated or chemically treated wood.

👨‍🍳 CasaGrill recommendations

Before first use, wipe the stone with a damp cloth and let it dry completely.

Do not immerse the stone in water and do not wash it under a strong stream of water. The stone should be used only when completely dry.

Heat the stone gradually. Do not place a cold or wet stone directly into a very hot tandoor or oven.

For flatbread or pizza, sprinkle a little flour on the paddle or working surface so the dough transfers more easily to the stone.

After baking, let the stone cool naturally. Flour or dough residues can be removed with a dry cloth, slightly damp sponge or gentle scraping, without aggressive detergents.
