Has anyone made baking stones from clay? I have a convection oven and am thinking of making tiles from stoneware clay. There would be 4 tiles that would fit my oven rack, leaving 1" of space all around for air flow. I am thinking of adding some minor designs into the tile so the bottom crust of my breads would pick up the design elements.
Any thoughts?

Baking Tiles
I just bought flower pot UNGLAZED saucers. This was I get the size I need , plus they are CHEAP and always available
baking stones
I made my own baking stones to line my oven, from terra cotta clay, and they are working very well. Per a suggestion from this site, I use an iron skillet with small rocks under the tile and add water to generate steam. I can bake two large round loaves or 3 batards of about 14" in length.
I might try flower pot saucers, though, for some smaller loaves. Good idea; )
Baking bread is about the most fun I have ever had, but that may say more about my limited life than it does about fun.......?
