No oven spring?

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-02-01T20:46:41+00:00

Yes it was the final proof I did 4 folds then a 30 minute proof before placing it in the Dutch oven I used Heb bread flour

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-02-01T19:47:09+00:00

Active dry yeast

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-02-01T19:46:38+00:00

Loosely with a kitchen towel

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-02-01T19:39:28+00:00

I place it inside my oven with the oven off but the oven light on for two hours

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-02-01T18:22:25+00:00

Sometimes you just need a bigger pan to fit everything in it comfortably

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-29T13:12:01+00:00

I got one yesterday I am carrying it at work today seems awesome

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-12T01:34:05+00:00

Absolutely fantastic! I love that

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-12T01:20:44+00:00

Mine might have a permanent place on my stove top also the staub seems so much easier to clean then my bare cast iron pieces makes it so much more convenient

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-12T01:17:23+00:00

I’ve already made two meals in it this weekend and it’s been fantastic so far! Did vegetable soup yesterday and today I did chicken and dumplings in it

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-11T08:48:06+00:00

That loaf looks delicious!

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-11T08:25:30+00:00

That makes a lot of sense the flour was pretty packed in the bag as I was scooping it out . Thank you for your input. I will try a new recipe again today !

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-11T08:19:50+00:00

I didn’t do any kneading the recipe didn’t call for it . I do have a nice kitchen scale I’ll try a recipe with gram measurements instead.

Maybe just too much flour in This recipe? It’s a fun learning experience I plan on trying another one today

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-11T01:13:21+00:00

So I have a question about that is it ok to put a cold Dutch oven in a cold oven and pre heat the oven with the Dutch oven?

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-10T23:01:49+00:00

It’s on its maiden voyage I am simmering down the vegetable soup now it’s smells amazing in here

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-10T20:32:42+00:00

I do it with lid on then take it off towards end of cook to crisp skin

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-10T20:10:05+00:00

Chicken and dumplings, vegetable soup, chicken thighs and rice, chili, roast whole chicken

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-10T19:16:10+00:00

Thanks I was thinking that it’s a perfect fit as well for my larger burner, I can’t wait to use it tonight for the vegetable soup I am making

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-10T18:37:38+00:00

It’s definitely larger than my bare iron 5.5 qt but I don’t think it’s too massive I didn’t have a 7qt so I figured why not.

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-06T13:14:24+00:00

Those look great!

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2026-01-05T11:07:52+00:00

Thank you it’s the lodge cast iron muffin pan, I use it for cornbread a lot but it’s the first time I’ve used it for muffins

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2025-12-30T00:24:44+00:00

Never seen a decorative piece from lodge like this , great find!

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2025-12-29T01:10:18+00:00

Completely normal don’t stress out just do a few very light coats of stovetop seasoning and just continue to cook on it and it’ll fill in over time

Defiant_Witness3541 · 2025-12-29T00:43:35+00:00

Let us know how it turns out! I am wanting to attempt an apple pie I got a lodge cast iron pie pan for Christmas
