This large oval bread pan is designed for baking artisan loaves that require a specific shape and plenty of room to rise. Weighing over 15 pounds, the heavy-duty cast iron retains heat exceptionally well. This creates the intense environment needed to produce a thick, crispy crust on homemade sourdough.
The cloche design features a deep base and a matching lid that mimics the conditions of a professional brick oven. By trapping steam released from the dough, the pot ensures the bread stays moist inside while the exterior browns perfectly. The pre-seasoned finish allows for easy food release after baking.
With a capacity of nearly 10 quarts, this pan is suitable for extra-large family-sized loaves. The oval shape is ideal for batards and other elongated bread styles that do not fit in standard round pots. It serves as a dedicated tool for serious bakers focusing on traditional crusty breads.
