NO-KNEAD CAST-IRON BREAD RECIPE
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Pour in the lukewarm water and, using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it comes together into a sticky dough. If it isn’t sticky, add more water, a couple tablespoons at a time, to get there. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and keep in a draft-free place for 18 to 24 hours.
Lightly flour a work surface. Gently remove the dough from the bowl. Form the dough into a ball, gently tucking the sides of the dough under. Place the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours, until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place a medium cast-iron cocotte into the oven while it preheats.
Carefully remove it from the oven when hot. Using the parchment paper sides as handles, gently lower the dough into the cocotte. Cover the cocotte, place it into the oven, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the bread is golden brown in color. Remove the bread from the cocotte and allow to cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups bread flour, plus more for the work surface
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 1⁄3 cups lukewarm water, plus more as needed

This is a great size for Bread. Figured this was small but cooks more things than you would think, infinite possibilities. One of the nicest things is it very manageable. Fun and safe on glass stove top. I would highly recommend this to everyone. And if you have STAUB you need this to go with your collection. Fun cooking vessel.

I always read the negative reviews before ordering anything and some are always just wrong if you know anything about the item being reviewed, but I pay attention to recurrent themes in these 1-star reviews. For this pot the recurrent themes were two. The first was that the pot is much smaller than expected, and that is just wrong. It isn’t that small and anyone buying this pot from Amazon should have a very good idea of the actual size by just doing a cursory review of the product description, or by reaffirming g other customers’ negative reviews.
The second recurring complaint was that the pot arrived damaged, showing noticeable chips in the enamel coating, especially around the top rim of the pot. But, my pot arrived in close-enough-to-perfect condition. Maybe other customers’ pots were damaged in shipping but the pot is well packaged, so that would require very rough handing.
The pot looks to be very durable and it looks to be easily cleaned, and, I would be truly shocked to learn that this pot is not a genuine French-made pot.
It is beautiful and it will one day be passed down to one of my children and then eventually to one of my grand and great-grand children until someone eventually so mistreats it that it is no longer beautiful. Such is the life of heirloom kitchen cookeare.
UPDATE!
After following washing directions with soapy water, pre seasoning the the Dutch Oven with vegetable oil at low heat for 5 minutes, and then let it cool down, as directed by the Staub Little Book; the following day I noticed a tiny hole inside the wall of the Dutch Oven; as shown on the images. I am very disappointed to say the least. I want a replacement or my full money back.
UPDATE: 7/26/2021
After returning and having a full refund by Amazon of the damaged item; I've decided to give it another try, and re-order same item delivered and fulfilled by Amazon. As always Amazon return and refund policies always delivers. So far I am very satisfied with the condition of the re-orderd Staub Cocotte. I may order more to this collection in the future. Thank you Amazon for restoring my satisfaction and confidence buying experience. The Dutch oven doesn't only look beautiful but is very well made. Well worth the expense.

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023
Both Staub and Le Creuset cast iron are made in France, not China.
Another benefit is durability. These pots are generational - when treated well, your children’s children will inherit this piece.
Also, when purchasing cast iron, it’s important that the iron be thick. Cheaper cast iron pots are less expensive because they are thin-walled and poorly made. Cheaply made pots won’t cook your food evenly. For cast iron, you get what you pay for. That’s why this is such a tremendous value.
I can’t recommend these enough, especially with this price.
Very pretty too.
Thank you.
