Baking Stone 28 cm

The 28 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. Thanks to its larger diameter, it offers more baking surface than the compact 21 cm version and is suitable for larger products or more comfortable baking.

Compared with a simple metal tray, the baking stone heats gradually and transfers heat more gently. The dough comes into direct contact with the hot surface, which helps the base bake better, creates a more natural crust and gives a texture closer to hearth-style baking.

The 28 cm diameter is suitable for large tandoor racks if the available space allows stable positioning. It is a good choice for larger flatbread, homemade bread, pizza, rustic cakes and other dough products in a traditional style.

🔥 Why a large baking stone is useful

When baking dough products, the contact surface is very important. A properly heated stone transfers heat steadily and helps the dough bake more evenly, without major differences between the edges and the center.

The baking 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.

For users who bake in a tandoor, the 28 cm stone is useful when a larger and more comfortable surface is needed for dough products.

🥖 Perfect for flatbread, bread and pizza

The 28 cm baking stone is suitable for dough products that need direct contact with a hot surface. It can be used for flatbread, homemade bread, pizza, rustic cakes, pies and other baked products.

✔ flatbread;

✔ pizza;

🔥 Baking stone 28 cm 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;
• for rustic baking, the texture may be less authentic.

BAKING STONE 28 CM

• heats gradually;
• transfers heat more evenly;
• offers a larger surface for dough;
• 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, pizza or bread, 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.
