Cast Iron Bread Pan, Sour Dough Artisan Bread Oven – Round 26 cm, 6.25 L (6.6 qt) – Deep Lid for Steam Baking

Product Description:
Bake artisan-style bread at home with this round cast iron bread pan, thoughtfully designed for performance and results that rival professional ovens. With a 26 cm diameter and a generous 6.25 L capacity (lid + base), it's perfect for sourdough, no-knead loaves, and rustic bakes.

Crafted from solid cast iron, the pan provides exceptional heat retention and even heat distribution, while the deep, heavy lid traps steam, creating the ideal environment for a crisp, golden crust and airy interior.

Why Steam Matters:
As bread bakes, the heavy lid captures moisture from the dough, slowing down crust formation. This allows for maximum oven spring, helping the loaf rise without resistance. Steam also promotes a thin, crisp crust and encourages rich, even browning without burning or drying out the exterior.
