For many of us, photographers (!) and other non-professional bakers, embarking on a bread baking journey at home can be challenging and pretty intimidating at first. Baking bread in a ‘Dutch oven’ (lidded pot) or cast iron pot, however, seems less intimidating to a starter, undersigned included. It seems simple and unassuming and with a bit of practice you do get your crispy, shiny crust and beautiful loaf with artisan style look.

What is your favorite Dutch oven bread recipe? Would you like to share that with us? Could be a very simple bread, but maybe you have come up with a variation that you want to share with us and the world? Maybe you added seeds, spices, any other great ingredient? Maybe you even hang a cast iron pot over a campfire, because you're on holiday and don't feel like standing in the kitchen?

We will share the best recipes on our website and of course link to your social media and/or your own website. So we're really looking for recipes for the Dutch oven, not general recipes for bread.
