Unique banneton-style lid design Safely use in the oven up to 500F Crafted from aluminum and stainless steel Backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty Ready to use in the oven without prior heating Easy food release and cleanup Durable stainless steel handles Smooth silicone nonstick interior surface Avoid the heavy Dutch oven. Our Simply Sourdough Pan is the smarter way to bake artisan bread at home. This innovative two-piece system is designed for bakery-quality results with less effort and no heavy equipment. The patented banneton-style lid doubles as a proofing basket, allowing you to proof your dough right in the lid and then flip it into the base to bake. Lightweight yet durable, the pan retains heat beautifully and is far easier to handle than cast iron. Its snug-fitting lid traps steam to promote oven spring, a golden crispy crust, and a light, airy crumb. Its silicone nonstick interior ensures easy release and cleanup, while stainless steel handles make lifting and handling simple. Unlike traditional cast iron Dutch ovens, the Simply Sourdough Pan delivers the same heat retention and steam-trapping benefits without the weight or hassle.
