Crafted from Enamelled Cast Iron
An icon of culinary perfection, the Le Creuset Bread Oven is crafted from enamelled cast iron just like our legendary casseroles. The exceptional heat distribution and retention properties of our cast iron create the ideal conditions for baking not only bread, but all manner of sweet and savoury baked goods, roasted meats and vegetables, and more. Oven-safe, the colourful exterior enamel is easy to clean and available in a wide variety of our iconic colours to coordinate with the rest of your Le Creuset collection.
Low-Profile Base
The low-profile base makes it easy to place dough in the Bread Oven and score it before baking, and then remove the beautiful loaves after they are baked. Raised interior ridges in the base raise the dough slightly to promote even browning and reduce sticking - no parchment necessary. The raised ridges also imprint the Le Creuset name and hallmark three rings in the bottom of the loaves to create a fun, joy moment.
Domed Lid
Designed more like a traditional bread cloche, the enameled cast iron domed lid fits tightly onto the base. This traps steam and heat inside the pot which creates the perfect environment for a crispy crust to form, and maximum rise and spring – it’s the best way to simulate a bakery steam oven at home. The radiant heat also keeps the temperature more consistent inside the Bread Oven to help minimize temperature fluctuations inside your oven. The result is bread with a perfect, golden brown crust and tender, interior crumb with maximum flavour.
Matte Black Interior Enamel
The interior of the Bread Oven features our matte black satin enamel for a richer crust colour, easy cleaning and less sticking. It also won’t show oil stains or marks that are a natural result of baking. The enamel will develop a patina over time to enhance baking performance and creates a more nonstick surface with every use. While the Bread Oven is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand-washing.
Ergonomic Knobs and Handles
Every aspect of the Bread Oven design was carefully considered, and the knobs and handles are no exception. Large Signature loop handles help safely transport the vessel to/from the oven, even when wearing bulky oven mitts. And the generously sized ergonomic knob is strategically placed on the top of the domed lid for easy removal – no need to wrestle with awkward handles when attempting to remove the hot lid while baking.
