They all work similarly by entrapping some of the steam created

during the baking process. The steamy environment allows the bread

to rise further and thus have more oven spring and feature a fluffier

crumb.}%

An additional disadvantage of Dutch ovens is the
|
||||||
|
need to move very hot and heavy cast iron. \footnote{
|
||||||
|
Some of them can weigh up to 10 kg. Moving them is quite
|
||||||
|
a tedious exercise. Especially if the cast iron is
|
||||||
|
heated you have to be very concise with your movements.
|
||||||
|
Despite doing my best I have a few scars on my
|
||||||
|
hands and arms from operating the Dutch ovens.
|
||||||
|
} You will need to be very careful and ideally use
|
||||||
|
heat-resilient gloves when touching your Dutch oven.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Furthermore, some of the Dutch ovens come at a hefty
|
||||||
|
price tag. Especially for new bakers buying a Dutch oven on
|
||||||
|
top of other tools can be quite a hefty investment. For
|
||||||
|
this reason, I advocate the inverted tray method visualized
|
||||||
|
in the next section. In case you do not own an oven consider trying
|
||||||
|
the simple flatbread recipe which is baked in a pan. Please
|
||||||
|
refer to section \ref{section:flat-bread-recipe} for more details.
