I use a lodge Dutch oven to bake sourdough bread, 5 qt and it works just fine. I also have the enameled version but prefer the plain old cast iron for cooking and bread making. I also use a cast iron loaf pan for my sandwich bread, doesn’t have a lid but everyone loves the bread.

This is helpful, thanks.

My daughter uses a glass dutch oven for her bread, and it comes out great!! I'd love to get her a cast iron one some day.

First attempt at no knead sourdough.

I decided to try scoring my sourdough loaf a little differently.

I basically drew a J on the bread. It turned out looking really delicious.

I guess I found my signature, score a J on the bread for my name!

Nice Job!

I'm thinking about getting a Dutch oven for baking bread.

Do any of you use a Dutch oven for this purpose?

I use one, it really elevates the bread to a new level and many people are throwing out their cast iron pots, just look for a yard sale or online, the most expensive thing will be shipping, cos they are HEAVY!
