Baking one own’s bread has become more and more of a habit and now I have decided to make time to adopt that habit in my household….using my…sourdough starter and a fabulous new Challenger Breadware [cast iron] pan

Martha Stewart, @marthastewart48

The handles are at the right spot, keeping my hands safe when grabbing the pan in and out of the oven. It’s large enough so I can bake 1.2kg doughs and still get a great oven kick. It really traps the steam and the heat….Deep, golden crust, thin and crispy…the loaves come out of the oven with a remarkable charisma and rusticity

François Thibeault, Bread Magazine, @breadmag

This is a beautifully designed pan! It won’t chip or scratch like my enameled Dutch ovens have and the walls are significantly thicker as well. The heavy domed lid and low profile bottom make a great seal keeping the steam right where you want it. I am looking forward to baking with these pans for many years to come.
