Dutch Ovens & Bread Bakers for Artisan Bread

Dutch ovens & “bread bakers” are tools used by home bakers to more easily create artisan type breads. These baking containers trap the steam produced by the bread dough as it bakes in an oven. In turn, this trapped steam helps to produce breads with a soft & moist interior and rustic & crispy crusts.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • Caroline had the wonderful idea to convert our Greek Yogurt Bread into sausage rolls – “Instead of making a loaf of sliceable bread, I took out a package of smoked pork sausages from the freezer, halved them, cut sticks of full-flavoured cheddar cheese sticks, and bundled them into a batch of mini sausage rolls. My husband and I both love them, I will definitely make it this way again!“
  • Margaret left some delicious ingredient ideas for my Bread Machine 100% Whole Wheat Bread – “I have started making this with a generous addition of dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. It’s terrific — little nuggets of chewy and sweet/tart in the perfect whole wheat ambience. My husband commented that one slice was a meal.“
  • Deidre posted some wonderful ingredient additions for my 2 Banana Bread Recipe – “Oh my! After successfully keeping the last two bananas on the hook long enough to make this with my son, it was worth every moment. This recipe is a keeper. We added chocolate chips and a few dashes of cloves and cinnamon. It looks, smells and tastes delightful.“
  • Martha added some delicious dinner ideas to our Bread Machine Naan – “Deeeelish! I’ve been eyeing this recipe for the longest time & decided yesterday was the day. The dough came together easily and the texture was easy to work with.” “They were so much better than the store bought ones, and much cheaper to make with no unnecessary ingredients. I built my meal around the bread, with some souvlaki type marinated chicken, feta, homemade hummus & tzatziki, and a Greek side salad. This Naan bread recipe is a keeper for sure. Thanks, Bread Dad!“
  • Mary left a very nice post on my Bread Machine White Bread (Extra Buttery) page – “I am thrilled I found your site. I recently purchased my first bread machine (KBS 17 in 1) and ordered several recipe books. Measures were a nightmare, from different/varying countries, etc. Very confusing. Also, every recipe book was stingy with photos. To date, I have made the White Bread (you had me at “extra buttery”), the Banana Bread (phenomenal) and the Whole Wheat Bread (excellent). All were SOOO GREAT. Your “Tips” are spot on. Example: the setting for the Banana Bread – mine turned out to be “quick bread” rather than “cake”, and a big THANK YOU for that. 50+ Delicious Bread Machine Recipes is wonderful!!!“
