This bread oven worked very well. The price was excellent and the product is very appealing. My first loaf of bread was outstanding.

I have several enameled cast iron made by Tramotina and are pleased with how well this one is made and packaged. That said this "bread Oven" has, IMO, one major issue; it is small. The maximum diameter of the inside bottom is 8" but bread expands when baking so in reality a 6" bole or battard loaf is about max. I bake both at 8" because of the basket sizes I have and neither fits with the lid on through the bake. I will try again making a smaller bole by hand before I decide whether or not to return it.

I have never baked bread in my life but decided to give it a shot. There is a viral cheese bread recipe that I wanted to try and since this was on sale, I went ahead and purchased it. My husband kept asking me over and over again, you didn't use a package for this? No, no I did not. I made it from scratch with my own two hands! I never have to worry about the shape of the bread I'm making or how it's going to turn out with this fabulous Dutch oven. I also purchased the seven quart Dutch oven, from the same series also in cranberry and gold, and made him some cioppino (seafood soup) to go with the crispy garlic cheese bread. HE WENT CRAZY!! I have made so many wonderful dishes (including the fabulous potato leek soup pictured below) thanks to these two beautiful Dutch ovens. They are gorgeous, elegant, easy to use and clean up very well. I can't wait to make more recipes!!

Awesome bread oven and MUCH cheaper than name brand!

Absolutely love this clough

Does exactly what it is intended for - make baking bread easier.

This was given as a gift to my daughter to use for baking sourdough bread.

Makes my bread perfectly baked !!!

If you are into the current sour dough cult, this bread oven is a dream!

Worked wonderfully on my sourdough boule it made the crust perfectly crispy on the outside, and the crumb inside was light and airy as well.
