The secret of baking in terracotta is simple - the terracotta must be unglazed. It is porous and will draw in moisture from whatever touches the surface. When bread dough touches its surface, it will draw or wick moisture away from it, giving a crispier crust when baked. Mason Cash is fundamentally rooted in its English heritage.
