Cast Iron Dutch Oven for Bread Baking - incl. Sourdough Bread-Baking Supplies like Banneton Bread-Proofing Basket - 5QT Bread-Oven with Lid Bread-Making Kit Pan, Pot, Sour Sough Tools, Lame

This kit has everything you need and more. Includes a banneton with liner, silicone sling, and most importantly the Dutch oven... for consistently perfect sourdough loaves. The sling makes transfers effortless, the banneton holds great shape, and the lame enables precise scoring for beautiful, bakery-level results. I use it almost daily as it has made breadmaking significantly easier! I haven’t really needed the dough mixer, but the scoring tool has exceeded my expectations compared to using a knife. The lid doubles as a cast-iron frying pan, adding versatility. I’ve gifted it too, and the quality shines in every use.

I can’t say enough good things about this rectangular Dutch oven. First off, the shape is a game-changer. Unlike traditional round Dutch ovens, the rectangular design fits perfectly in my oven and on my stovetop, giving me more usable cooking space and better fits for larger cuts of meat or whole chickens.The heat distribution is incredible—everything cooks evenly, from slow braises to baked casseroles. The heavy cast iron construction retains heat beautifully and locks in moisture, making every dish juicy and tender. Plus, the enamel coating makes cleanup effortless, and there’s zero sticking even when cooking delicate recipes.It’s versatile beyond belief. I’ve used it for roasting vegetables, baking bread, simmering stews, and even making desserts. The lid seals tightly, so flavors meld perfectly, and the sturdy handles make it easy to transfer from stove to table.Durability-wise, this thing feels like it will last a lifetime. It’s well worth the investment for anyone serious about cooking. If you want a practical, high-quality piece of cookware that delivers consistently excellent results, this rectangular Dutch oven is absolutely the way to go.

I use this for sourdough. Big round boule. This pan holds the shape and keeps the steam in. I’ve used Dutch ovens before—this one’s better for bread. Just feels right.Things I like:Heavy, solid, holds heatFits a 3 lb loaf easyLid keeps the steam in for a good riseBread doesn’t burn when I follow the preheat instructionsEasy to lift with handles on both sidesHere’s the recipe I use:750g King Arthur bread flour525g water300g sourdough starter (bubbly and ready)15g sea salt (add after autolyse)15g olive oil (optional)I mix flour, water, starter. Let it sit for 45 mins. Then I add the salt and oil, knead a few minutes, do stretch and folds every 30 mins for 2 hours. Let it rise until doubled. Cold proof overnight in the fridge. Bake the next day.Baking method:Preheat the baker at 500°F for 60 minutesBake at 450°F for 40 mins with the lid onThen 20-25 mins uncoveredCheck temp (205-210°F inside)Let it cool 1-2 hours before slicingBread comes out with a good crust and solid crumb. Big rise. I score it with a design before baking. Looks nice. My wife approves.Would buy this again. No question.

I saw a lot of reviews about this product rusting after using it, but I followed the Seasoning instructions that came with the product and I have used it multiple times with ZERO signs of rust. This is a great product for the home bread maker, and about 4 times less expensive than the favored Challenger brand that sells for 300. It also came with Bread Lame, a brush, and a very large Banneton Basket. I would definitely recommend this product for home bakers.

This is a quality set at a reasonable price, there's no way around that!There is no bread sling despite many mentions of it on the box, in the booklet and in this item description.Small quibble that the recipe book does not have weights as well as volume measurements like it really should.

Absolutely obsessed with this! I just started learning out to make sourdough bread, this cast iron sourdough kit is phenomenal. Definitely worth the price (which is a good number), has everything you need to start! I’ve already made 3 loaves in it and none have stuck so far. The dough sling, the blade to score the dough and the bread whisk are my favorite items in the kit. I could t be happier. My items ever fail I’d reorder this kit.

I freaking LOVE everything about this kit. I've been experimenting with sourdough for the last few months, and decided to splurge on a cast iron and tools to up my bread game. This set did not disappoint! The recipe book included was a huge bonus...there is a cinnamon raisin bread recipe that I substituted chocolate chips for the raisins, and now I make it every week it is SO freaking GOOD. Like other cast iron products, you need to clean it properly - no washing it in the sink with soap, or putting it in the dishwasher. I've used it for a few months now, and as long as you take care of it properly, it is holding up just fine with no rust or other issues. All in all, a great set for beginners, or for people who just want to expand their bread making arsenal.

This Dutch oven baking set is absolutely a must have! The size and durability of it is incredible. All the utensils it comes with are super easy to use and clean. I also love how it comes with a little cook book. I use this Dutch oven for most of my bread cooking needs. I even use the other tools it comes with when we do pizza night too. I also love that you can use the lid and the pot for other things since it is cast iron. Overall I would recommend this to all my friends and family.
