Create toothsome loaves of artisanal bread in this clever pan that transforms your oven into the ideal bread oven. Ridges on the base ensure even browning, while the tight-fitting lid traps and circulates steam to ensure maximum rise and a crisp crust. Crafted of cast iron that distributes and retains heat exceptionally well, the domed bread oven is coated in durable chambray porcelain enamel in a gorgeous shade of blue as casual and chic as your favorite pair of jeans. Matte black satin enamel on the inside is virtually non-stick and easy-to-clean. Use the ergonomic handles and glam gold-finished knob—all designed to work with bulky oven mitts—to carry the bread oven to the table and present your creations with a well-deserved flourish.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.Cast iron with porcelain enamel finish.
