Bring on the Heat

We made the Challenger out of thick, black cast iron because it is proven to absorb, retain, and radiate heat—just what your dough needs. We shaped the cover like a loaf of bread to bring radiant heat as close as possible to help your dough’s oven spring and bloom. It’s a self-contained oven within your oven so that it will not lose heat even when you open the oven to take the cover off. Finally, with handles large enough for oven mitts, you’ll easily load your dough, place and remove the cover, and safely remove your perfect loaf.

The Perfect Amount of Steam

Steam is what produces bread with crackling crust, rich colors, open scores, and full volume. The loaf bakers want! And we’ve all searched for videos of baking hacks that demonstrate how to add steam to home ovens—yet most of it escapes the minute the oven door opens. Therefore, we designed the Challenger to ensure a tight seal between the cover and the base, trapping the steam your dough needs while baking.

One Pan To Rule Them All

Small combo cookers yield small boules. Dutch ovens have bakers cutting elaborate parchment slings to lower dough without burning their hands (or degassing the dough!). Baking stones and steels require even more elaborate workarounds to create steam. Clay bakers crack. No more baking workarounds. The Challenger allows you to bake all your favorite breads. It’s easy to load and score your dough, and the sealed cover traps the steam you need. Your Challenger won’t crack. In fact, it will last for generations.
