Why the Dutch oven works:Braised meat is perfect in a Dutch oven because you’ll sear the meat to get it brown and seal in all those juices, and then transfer it to the oven for several hours to get it all tender and wonderful, but you can keep it all in the same pot
“By placing the risen bread dough into a 425°F Dutch oven, you get the massive surrounding heat of a professional oven, and in the covered pot the bread itself supplies the moisture needed to produce a great crust. Home bread bakers have two problems: home ovens don’t create or retain heat like commercial bread ovens, and home ovens don’t have the humidifier systems that professionals use to create the “crackling crusts” that artisan bread bakers treasure. Using Dutch ovens (covered metal or ceramic pots) solves both the heat and moisture problems.”

Good question! A Dutch oven is a thick-walled pot with a tight-fitting lid that’s shorter and wider than a stockpot but deeper than a braiser or skillet. It can go from the stovetop to the oven and vice versa, and, thanks to its heavy lid, it’s great at capturing moisture and heat.
Occasionally, you’ll find Dutch ovens that are made of ceramic or stainless steel, but in my opinion, the best ones are cast-iron. I personally like to use an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven. This material is excellent at retaining and conducting heat, but it doesn’t require any seasoning. You can easily clean it with just soap and water!
