Here's the photo of my broken pizza stone.
I'm sure it was the bread that broke it. Basically, the cool-ish bread dough sucks the heat disproportionately out of the spot it sits on. Get a big enough temp difference and it will crack.
As I thought more about it , I realized that not only was this loaf cooler than the first time I baked (this loaf having only been out of the fridge for 45 minutes vs. 1.5 hours for the first batch), but also that I only made 1 loaf, instead of 2 the first time. The first 2 were larger and warmer, and would have cooled the stone less dramatically.
I've been emailing back and forth with Pampered Chef. I don't have any of my original purchase info, but it looks like they are going to make an exception for me and replace it.

I could - but then I'd eat it!

Susan - Can I just say that I love that you thought to take a photo of this event?! I do one loaf on my pizza stone all the time - and my house is normally freezing (as is my dough) so there was probably a defect in your stone. That seems pretty extreme!My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I thought that Pampered Chef might want to see how it failed. Originally Posted by GLC1968

I'm thinking either olive bread or a peasant loaf.

I made the oatmeal bread dough Sunday morning and baked the bread last night (variation with raisins and walnuts). It was fabulous! Originally Posted by Susan Otcenas

my third (and last from that batch) loaf looks like papaver's first loaf. I think next time i will make a 4 cup batch instead of a 6 cup batch, we would be more likely to use it all up in time.
