Why Cast Iron?
Cast iron is renowned for its exceptional durability and superior heat retention, making it the perfect material for baking bread. It heats up evenly and maintains temperature, ensuring your bread bakes thoroughly, with a golden crust and a soft, airy interior every time. The snug-fitting lid traps steam, mimicking the environment of professional bread ovens. This steam is crucial for developing a crispy crust and a beautifully risen loaf.
Simple Bread Recipe
To help you get started, here's a quick and easy bread recipe:
Ingredients:
