I was looking something bigger than my dutch oven to bake bread in.The gold standard is the Challenger pan but too expensive for me (279USD). I also looked at the Brisbane Sourdough pan but that is $240pp.
I've been watching this Brunswick Bakers pan as a cheaper alternative and it finally came back in stock, I've been using it for about a week and am really happy with it so thought I'd share!
Key Features:
- Pre-seasoned cast iron specially designed for bread baking
- Handles are made for easily removing the lid while in the oven
- Generates superior even heat distribution and retention
- Suitable for oven use and all stove tops including induction
- Ideal for all types of bread baking and other types of cooking (roast, etc.)
I already bought the IKEA vardagen 7L a couple of months ago… argh! Your one looks great.

Unfortunately the IKEA one doesn't have a low profile, so the bread doesn't brown as well after taking the lid off, but for a budget version I'm pretty happy with mine
