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.
