Once the first loaf works, the next one is bigger. A 5 quart pot gives a full-size round loaf the headroom to spring in the oven and a wall to hold the steam.
Preheat it empty for 45 minutes. Lower the loaf in on its parchment. Lid on for the first twenty minutes, off for the last twenty. The crust does the rest.
What arrives
- One 5 quart pre-seasoned cast iron double Dutch oven with skillet lid
- A printed first-loaf bake card for this pot
