Nordic Ware is expanding its Simply Sourdough collection with specialty bakeware, including a Baguette & French Bread Pan and Bagel Pan.
Additionally, the Simply Sourdough Bread Baker will now be available separately from the company’s Simply Sourdough kits.
Simply Sourdough Bagel Pan ($28)
Designed to eliminate the traditional boiling step when making bagels, the pan (pictured above) shapes the dough for baking and is designed to promote even heating. Made from formed natural aluminum, it resists warping and rust and is oven-safe up to 500°F.
Baguette & French Bread Pan
Baguette & French Bread Pan ($28)
Designed to bake three loaves at once, the natural aluminum pan features perforations to distribute heat across its three wells and help produce a crisp exterior, Nordic Ware said. It is lightweight, warp-resistant and designed for both artisan sourdough and traditional yeasted bread.

Previously the centerpiece of the company’s Simply Sourdough kits, the bread baker is now available on its own. It offers a lightweight alternative to cast iron bread-baking vessels. The pan-and-lid design traps steam during baking to help dough rise while developing a crisp crust. It is made from aluminized steel for even heating.
Nordic Ware’s Simply Sourdough kits remain available. The Simply Sourdough Basic Kit includes a Bread Baker with lid, a glass starter jar with temperature strip and feeding tracker band, a Danish dough whisk, a retractable lame, a bench scraper, a silicone lifting sling and a cotton proofing towel. The Simply Sourdough Deluxe Kit adds a digital kitchen scale.
