nuovva Enamelled Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot – Dutch Oven For Sourdough Bread Baking – Cast Iron Bread Pot – Dark Blue, 6 Quarts, 22cm –

I'm very happy with the item, I do recommend this seller.

I am 79 years old and have quite a lot of experience with baking sour dough and other Artisan breads using home milled flours and long fermentation methods. I stopped maintaining a sour dough starter since I was using more flour to maintain the starter than what I used for baking bread. Since then, I have used flour milled from whole grains and the long fermentation method with excellent results without having to maintain a starter. Many have been baked in the standard Dutch oven. The downside of using a standard Dutch oven is getting the loaf out of the Dutch oven without getting burned. This Dutch oven with the lower sides is so much easier. I do suggest that it is oiled before baking bread to make removal of the bread and cleanup easier. I also have a few name brand Dutch ovens, and I find the quality of this less expensive Dutch oven comparable in quality and baking ability. In my experience, I have found that humidity is required for the initial oven spring that raises the loaves in the first 10-15 minutes of baking. This can be done by spritzing the sides of the oven every 7 minutes or placing a pan of water in the oven. With this baker, the humidity required for oven spring is maintained with the domed cover. This is so much less messy than the other two methods. The capacity of this Dutch oven is great for baking a good sized loaf and also works for a number of different functions. For example, baking a roast or chicken in this Dutch oven will produce moist and tender meats. Crisping can be done at the end of the baking. This Dutch oven is heavy, but then all cast iron is. The weight comes with the territory to produce superior, moist meats and breads. I do have a few Dutch oven of different size in the name brands, and this Dutch oven seems to be of similar quality. I will update this review if my opinion changes. As a sidenote, I bought this Dutch oven in red and another in Orange from the same seller. I honestly can't tell the difference in color. I hope this review was helpful for you
