Le Creuset Bread Pans and Bread Ovens for Bakers
While Le Creuset may be best known for its Dutch ovens, this bestselling brand also produces leading bakeware items for bakers of all skill levels. Browse for Le Creuset bread pans from Williams Sonoma to start building your collection. These premium pans use high-quality materials and durable constructions to help you bake delicious, bakery-quality loaves from the comfort of your home.
Le Creuset Loaf Pans
Most Le Creuset bakeware items are crafted of high-fired stoneware, a material that offers exceptional strength and even heat conduction. They're then finished with a porcelain enamel glaze for added durability. This premium glaze resists chips, scratches and stains and doesn't absorb odors or flavors. It also makes these pans easier to clean after baking. For best results, use only wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to keep these pans scratch-free.
The Le Creuset loaf pans at Williams Sonoma typically bake loaves that are around one pound, making them a great vessel for most quick bread or yeast bread recipes. You can also use them for baking sweet pound cake, savory meatloaf and more. Most of these stoneware baking pans are safe for use in the oven, broiler, freezer, microwave and dishwasher, making them a versatile addition to any baker's collection. And with their large, easy-grip handles and vibrant exteriors, they're perfect for oven-to-table presentations.
Le Creuset also offers a line of nonstick bakeware items made of heavy-gauge carbon steel. This premium material conducts heat quickly and evenly, allowing for even baking and browning. They're lightweight enough for everyday use but are still durable enough to resist twisting, bending or warping. They're finished with a nonstick silicone coating to promote effortless release and easy cleanup. The Le Creuset carbon steel loaf pans accommodate 1.5-pound yeast loaves, pound cakes, quick bread, meatloaf and other sweet or savory dishes.
Le Creuset Bread Ovens
Most Le Creuset bread pans bake classic bread loaves that you can cut into uniform slices for toast or sandwiches. But if you want to create an impressive French-style loaf, you'll need a Le Creuset bread oven. These ovens feature enameled cast iron constructions for superior heat conduction and retention, allowing them to replicate brick-oven baking techniques. Their tight-fitting dome lids promote superior steam circulation, encouraging your dough to rise well. The circulated steam also gives these rounded loaves a crispy crust while maintaining their moist, fluffy interiors.
These versatile bread ovens are oven-, broiler-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe, allowing you to use them for proofing, baking and food storage. They feature a porcelain enamel glaze that covers the interior, creating a surface that won't absorb the odors or flavors of the bread you make. It's also designed to resist chips, scratches and stains, keeping it looking and performing its best over many uses. This durable glaze also carries over to the outside of the bread oven, giving it a glossy, scratch-resistant finish. Color options include white, red, French gray and teal.
Shop for Le Creuset bread pans at Williams Sonoma to achieve bakery-quality results from the comfort of your kitchen.
