Le Creuset Signature Oval Bread Oven

Product Description

The Le Creuset Signature Oval Bread Oven is the definitive tool for home bread bakers who demand professional results. Its elongated oval shape accommodates longer batards and baguette-style loaves that a round baker simply can't handle, while the high-domed lid traps steam during the critical first phase of baking for an open, airy crumb and a deeply caramelized, crackly crust. Crafted from enameled cast iron, it delivers the consistent, even heat that professional bakers rely on — session after session, loaf after loaf.

Use & Care

Baking: Preheat the bread oven in the oven before adding dough. Bake covered for the first 20–25 minutes to trap steam, then remove the lid to develop a golden, crackly crust.
