Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike traditional Dutch ovens which are heavy and expensive, the Lekue Silicone Bread Maker is lightweight and affordable. Its unique bowl shape allows steam to circulate, keeping the dough moist while preventing the bread from drying out, a common issue with standard open loaf pans.

How to use it

1. Place ingredients directly into the open bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Close the bowl using the silicone tab to let the dough rise in a protected environment.
3. Knead the dough inside the bowl or on a clean surface if preferred.
4. Place the closed bowl directly into a preheated oven to bake.
5. Open the bowl during the last few minutes if a deeper golden crust is desired.
