This is the missing link
Makes fabulous artisan bread, even gluten free. It uses the water in the dough to steam the bread as it is baking.IYou can also use it to bake ground vegetables like beets.As soon as I save up, I'm getting another one in the new Peche (peach) color.

Excellent investment!
I got this for my wife for her birthday (at her request) and was initially shocked by the price tag, but after a half dozen amazing loaves of bread I appreciate the quality and purpose of this product, plus happy wife = happy bread!

Looks great, bakes great bread
If you’re shopping this item, you know what it’s for and what its benefits are. Baking in a closed vessel traps steam to help give a boost to your oven spring. You can do it in your Dutch oven, so why this dedicated piece? Does it bake better? Not exactly. But it does bake a beautiful loaf. And its design with a shallow base and domed lid make handling it much easier.The major difference in this vs a Dutch oven is that you can remove the dome shaped lid easily mid cook, and allow more of your loaf to get direct heat from the oven so the crust comes out even. In that regard its design is great. The included instructions/recipe say to let your loaf proof right in the pan, covered. Which does work just fine. You can also proof normally in a basket if you like - it still works great. Some people have concerns about preheating Dutch ovens empty - I’m of the opinion that it’s fine because the whole thing is heating slowly and evenly with the oven. So I sometimes preheat this as well. Most often, I preheat the dome only, just so I’m not dealing with a 450 degree pan when I’m trying to put my loaf into it.The only negative - and it’s minor - is the rings and logo on the base. They prevent you from using the bread oven for anything else besides baking bread, so this is a true unitasker. I don’t need the bottom of my loaf to have circles and a ay le creuset on it (like the Dutch oven lids (see photo)). I’d rather have a smooth surface making it easier to slide a spatula underneath so I could use it for other things too.If you like baking bread, and find some therapeutic joy in the process this is a worthwhile purchase. If you’re more of a utility baker, there’s other options much cheaper that would work the same. Lodge makes a cast iron 5qt double dutch that has the same shallow pan as a lid, which mates to a Dutch oven to create basically the same design. its not enamel coated but it gets the job done just as well. I have one… I use the lid all the time for roasting other things in the oven, but I use this Le Creuset for baking bread because I just enjoy it more.
Great gift!!
I purchased this as part of a wedding gift and the bride and groom (who enjoy cooking together) were very happy. It was on time and packaged well. I’m told that their first food in the pot will be bread! I paired this with Italian Deruta pottery bowls, antipasto bowls, etc. This couple makes their own pasta from scratch and same with the gravy.
