Ceramic Baking Beads for Dough - 1kg
The secret to perfectly flat and crispy tart crusts.
Ceramic baking beads are an essential tool for successful blind baking. They weigh down your dough (shortcrust, sweet, puff pastry) to prevent it from puffing up or the edges from collapsing during baking. Thanks to their excellent thermal conductivity, they ensure even heat distribution for uniform baking of your tart bases.
Professional quality for your tart bases
Made from food-grade ceramic, these beads are durable, infinitely reusable, and withstand the highest baking temperatures without any deformation.
Why use ceramic beads?
-
Perfect hold: The weight of the beads prevents air bubbles from forming under the dough.
-
Even baking: Ceramic stores and distributes heat, ensuring a golden crust right to the edges.
-
Easy to use: Suitable for all types of tart and tartlet molds.

3-step instructions:
-
Line your mold with the dough and prick the base with a fork.
-
Cover the dough with parchment paper, then pour the ceramic beads on top.
-
Bake. Once baking is complete, remove the beads using the paper and let them cool before storing them back in their jar.
💡 Patissland expert tip: Do not fill your mold to the brim. A uniform layer of beads across the base is enough to guarantee a professional result. Remember to let the beads cool completely before handling, as ceramic retains heat for a long time.
