I already have one that size but use another pot for my Boule. And we are having a household moratorium on any unnecessary shopping...but it is a good price and no doubt will sell fast for those learning to bake bread. Link, HERE

Thank you Sleevendog! I've been wanting to upgrade from Lodge but they are so darn expensive. I ordered black :)

Le Crueset is having a Factory online sale right now but none of their prices are this good.

I am so glad you posted this, sleevendog. My daughter told me day-before-yesterday that she wanted to make a no-knead bread, but did not have a cast iron Dutch oven. I always thought she did. She has a birthday coming up, and this is a great buy for Staub. I ordered one for her. Thank you so much for posting.

ISO Bread Baking Book

Another book I'd recommend is the King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. I have all the other books mentioned (except the Oppenneer book - I have her Celebration Breads) but the KAF book, I feel, provides a lot of very helpful basic information, including some of the clearest information I've ever encountered on sourdough and starters. It is a more general book, covering cookies, pies, etc. in addition to bread, but the yeast dough section is very well done with excellent explanations. Another book I'd recommend for beginners is Beth Hensperger's Bread Bible, which is designed for those who haven't much experience. For those really committed to bread I'd recommend Jeff Hamelman's Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes, even over The Bread Baker's Apprentice and Crust and Crumb, both by Reinhart. I really second the suggestion to go to a well-stocked bookstore and actually look at the books. These titles are well-known and you should be able to physically examine at least 80% of them. Also, do not forget websites, which can be very helpful. One really good one is linked below. You get lots of advice and the visuals are a tremendous benefit.

Thanks for all the input and ideas not many if any negatives. I'm sure if there were some it would have come out. I have done the lemon and oil test on a little piece of the granite (30 mins).

Filling: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten Dash of salt 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips Mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg & salt until just blended.

With an electric mixer, beat softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy, add vanilla and orange zest. Mix in dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with milk. Fold in raspberries.

a few bread baking tips and the pizza dough recipe
Q
Comments (33)
I've been reading these and all of trailrunner's post. They are just great. All the hints were great. I bake bread out of boredom, I rarely use a recipe, for better or worse and like the wet doughs as well as quicker higher yeast doughs for pizza. Someday I'll get that "super peel" with the cloth belt thingy. I am forced to pre-cook my thin pizza crusts without one- My favorite bread is an olive bread that is made locally in the East Bay and sold now only at the local Berkeley farmer's market- you can go to their bakery, and they will sell stuff to you, but it's not a store front, no sales help, no hours- if they are there they'll sell it to you- they're also fresh pasta makers- 'Phoenix Pastificio'- if you're ever in the area. I've never tried to make that bread, it's almost Holy to me...( although I know he uses a biga and those black Kalamata olives). It has a thin almost black burnt crust, with large ciabatta holes to the crumb and flavor to die for.

I posted as soon as I got the e-mail. I up-graded from le Crueset a few years ago. You will love it. I use mine for braising, soups, and roasts. The underside of the lid has little nubbies that collect steam/moisture and drip down all over for self-basting.

Two of my granddaughters have some Staub pieces and love them. I bought my LeCreuset in France back in the mid-1970s. The knobs are intergrated cast iron, not the knobs on today's LeCreuset.

Thank you! I have been shopping for days for the right pot for this bread. I ordered white. Such a great price.

In looking at the recipe, they call for bread flour. I only usually have APF. What is the difference? Can I make this recipe in this pot without trying to find bread flour? It seems many of the recipes for this type of bread do use AP flour.

Up grade from Le Cruset?? To me Le Cruset is top of the line!...I have 4....count em....four of their Dutch ovens,s everal fry pans, augratin dish lidded sauce pan and love LOVE every piece.

According to everything I've learned about pots, Staub and Le Creuset are equal quality. Some like one better than the other, have different opinions of the knobs, and shapes of the lids, but the actual metallurgy and enamels are supposed to be of equal quality.

OTOH, Current Lodge is cheaper and accessible and works, but is thick and brittle, and isn't smooth.

I had a cousin who was making the NYT recipe long before it was widely popular. I never have. Maybe I should give it a try for grins and giggles. :)

Thanks, Sleevendog. I was trying to resist but I could use the size and I've always wanted to try the spiked drip lid, and the price was irresistible.

I thought the red would clash with my Le Creuset, so I got the black. :)

Thanks, Islay for the other recipe and advice that I can use APF. But I don't have instant yeast! Can I just sub regular yeast, or proof it a bit first?
chas045
6 years ago
If you search the question the general answer is that regular powered 'active dry yeast' should be added to liquid first while instant can just be mixed in dry. I always had 'active dry yeast' from COSTCO and usually mixed 'proofed' with water first. However, over the last year I haven't bothered and haven't noticed any difference. I suppose that timing could be slightly different; a faster rise with instant, but like many here, I usually use my bread machine for mix and rise while baking in a pan. Timing isn't critical.

In this recipe, timing is non-existant; no bread machine either. The point is the VERY long rise with very little yeast to prevent over rising. Use your yeast; no worries.

I haven't made the no knead bread in years and never made it in a dutch oven. Couldn't justify the price. Now I'm very tempted. I have the Staub Perfect Pan and use it all the time.

ETA: Couldn't resist. Bought it in cherry red to match my Perfect Pan. Thanks for enabling me!!! ;)

Oh mama this dutch oven is fabulous! Worlds away from my Lodge ones. Reminds me of my vintage/antique Wagner cast iron skillets with the thin walls and smooth surfaces.

The one for my daughter arrived yesterday. Of course, we are practicing self-isolation so don't know when she or I will be able to pickup/take to her. She lives about 1 hour away from me.

Couldn't live without my staub. Love the nubs on inside of the lid for dripping moisture back into proteins. Roasts, short ribs, chicken - all are amazing. Wonderful quality.

I'd love to have that size, and round. But I've place a moratorium on unneeded purchases too. I could justify, but will not... : )

Love my Stab. 5or6 years ago I purchased one treat every year. So I have I think five now. That was when, it seemed, everything started breaking down. A lifetime veg peeler snapped in my hand, a favorite chefs knife handle cracked. A couple handles fell off a couple measuring cups. A gorgeous wooden spoon broke in half. Lids to my glass pyrex cracked...

Then Zwilling started having great cyber Monday deals. My first was I think my small grain pot. These two live 24/7 on the back right burner. Use them daily/weekly. The 4qrt like on sale now is handy just under the stovetop in the cabinet. The baby, 'my sweet baby' grain pot I've given as gifts since it is usually around 79$ every year during the holidays.
