Our take on the The Cactus Bread Oven

The Cactus Bread Oven is a cast iron bread cloche built for round sourdough loaves. Its shallow base makes loading and scoring dough easier than a deep Dutch oven, while the domed lid traps steam and leaves headroom for the loaf to rise. The matte black enamel interior needs no seasoning and wipes clean, and the wide side handles give a firm grip with oven mitts. It suits bakers who want a dedicated bread baker rather than a multi-use pot, and it holds heat as well as heavier enameled Dutch ovens while being easier to load.
