First try at using a Enamel Cast Iron Bread Oven - 'tight-sealing lid helps trap steam, simulating the conditions of professional bread ovens'. Simple white bread - the result is just what I was hoping for. Preheated the cloche in the oven while the shaped loaf was rising. Removed from oven to load the dough. Then cooked 25 minutes, removed lid to brown for 10 minutes.

First attempt, came out great! I’m impressed with the results.

Recently started making sourdough bread, tried a Dutch oven, and had to decide between wearing oven gloves and risking dropping the dough ball, or getting burns on my knuckles. This solves the problem neatly, I preheat the bottom tray, and it is easy to transfer the parchment paper with the dough on it to the hot pan, slash it, pop the cover on and close the oven. Bread gets a nice crust which browns beautifully after the cover comes off during the last half of the baking time. Coated and wipes clean easily. Makes much nicer bread than just baking on a tray in the oven, and no messing with a water tray. I use a mister to spritz the dough ball just before the cover goes on. Would buy again, and I bought one as a gift for my daughter who bakes.

I am new to bread baking. Am an accomplished cook and baker, but for some reason have not baked a lot of bread. I like Artisan bread, so this cast iron bread cloche really appealed to me. It arrived quickly and I baked my first loaf of bread in it. I made a parchment liner for it, to keep it from staining as well. The bread was great with a nice crust and very delicious. I look forward to baking more loaves of delicious bread. The oven itself is very well made and is attractive if you plan on having it out or on display. This price compared to a similar Le Creuset oven is unrealy at about 1/5 the price. I own a lot of Le Creuset that I bought years ago. This is a great piece of cookware at a much more affordable price point. I am sure I will enjoy it for many years to come.

LOVE IT~ It cooks my breads perfect!

The first time I used this in the oven it became discolored.

Great product. Bread came out excellent. Only issue on first use was the exterior finish stained and didn’t come off.

This works wonderful for sourdough loaves and has been very easy to clean. The color is also vibrant and beautiful. Love using this, and the price is really the best I have found for a bread oven.

We have been using our regular Dutch oven to bake bread and it worked well enough. Decided to try this bread oven and it made a big difference in the quality of the bread. The bottom crust is softer and less chewy than when we use the Dutch oven. I highly recommend the bread oven to all bread bakers.

Great for my sourdough bread and much lighter then the Dutch oven I had been using. My loaves bake wonderfully with a nice crisp crust!
