What can replace Dutch oven?

A deep oven-proof skillet can work if you don't have a Dutch oven, as can an oven-proof soup pot. And if your recipe doesn't call for putting the pot in the oven at all, any heavy deep pot will do. Here are some recipe examples: This hearty Beef and Guinness Stew or these Chicago-Style Italian Beef Hoagies.

Can you bake sourdough without Dutch oven?

Instead, when you're ready to bake, place your formed loaf directly into the cold pot, then set in your hot oven and immediately cover with your baking sheet. Bake as directed by your recipe, and remove the baking sheet during the last 10-20 minutes of baking just like you would a Dutch oven lid.

Can you bake sourdough without parchment paper?

A parchment paper is not necessary to produce a good sourdough bread. ... The coating of flour creates a non-stick surface which prevents the dough and baked bread from sticking to it. The challenge with using only dusting flour is in the process of transferring your proofed dough onto the hot baking surface.

Can I bake sourdough in a Pyrex dish?

Baking with a lid on the Pyrex dish creates its own steam which will allow the dough to rise and open up while baking. The Pyrex is very similar to the old style of Dutch oven baking. The dough will need to be baked for 50 minutes. ... Turn the sourdough dough loaf out on to a baking tray or hot baking stone.

Can I bake sourdough on a baking sheet?

If you don't own a Dutch oven, you can always bake the bread on a heavy baking sheet or pizza stone instead. Preheat it in the oven for 30 minutes before baking your bread. To create that steam, you'll need to preheat a metal rimmed baking pan under the baking sheet as well.

At what temperature should sourdough bread be baked?

Can you preheat a Staub Dutch oven?

Just like above, preheating a Dutch oven on high heat is as bad as cooking with it on high heat. It can heat up too fast and the surface and food can burn. Also, you never want to preheat it while empty — this can cause the enamel to crack — so drizzle your olive oil in first and then switch the stovetop on.

Does Staub cocotte need to be seasoned?

The black matte enamel Staub uses is special because it's porous, so it gets seasoned with each use. Although it can be treated like regular enamel, heavy use of the dishwasher may cause the coating to develop some white marks. It will also remove the enamel's seasoning.
