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

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, high-quality enameled cast iron Dutch oven, durable + great size & shape...
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022
Size: 5-qt TallColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Staub is one of my favorite cookware brands. I like cast iron and have a lot of it including two enameled cast iron Dutch ovens from well known brands (but they were actually made in China). I inherited one of them from my Dad and purchased the other before I knew about French enameled cast iron cookware in general and Staub in particular. My Dad and I had the idea to compare the two brands and both seemed to be of good quality and they lasted for years, but they were far from perfect -- the enamel on one of them was easily chipped and the interior of the other one developed cracking and the surface started to flake off. In the intervening years, I discovered Staub and started building up a collection; the quality of the materials and workmanship is amazing. They are beautifully finished with several layers of gorgeous enamel (that resists chipping) and they are very heavy with a durable matte black interior. The lids are self-basting. They are pricey so I would usually purchase a different piece for the holidays each year. Sort of a gift to myself. I have two of the figural pieces (the tomato and the pumpkin -- so charming! but useful, too) the medium-sized coq-au-vin, a 3.75 quart French oven and three of the Dutch ovens (4 quart, 5.5 quart and 7 quart). I thought my collection was complete, although I wouldn't have minded if someone gifted me the cute artichoke figural piece). Anyway, I had been using my Dad's Dutch oven as a designated pot for making yogurt, cream of wheat and oatmeal when I noticed the flaking. I liked using it for this purpose because it was taller than my Staub Dutch ovens. I was so happy to see that Staub had introduced a tall version of the 5-quart Dutch oven, and I ordered it in the matte black. It looks great and It is perfect for so many things -- yogurt, of course but also soups and stews or baking bread. The size is versatile and it is just right for smaller families. The price was $199.99 when I purchased mine, and I thought that was a good deal. I have been looking for a Christmas gift for my SIL (a great cook) and I see they are now only $149.99! I also see there are great new colors available, too! This Dutch oven is definitely worth the price as Staub enameled cast iron is gorgeously finished, well-made, robust and durable + everything I make in these pots come out flavorful and delicious. It is 10 times better than the less expensive enameled cast iron I previously used. My older ones still look brand new. I know I will be passing all of my beautiful Staub pieces down to my children and grandchildren someday and I'm sure they will enjoy them using them for years, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ½ stars: Rough Handles Aside, ‘Goldilocks’ Cocotte for Midsized Batches of Acidic Soups
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2022
Size: 5-qt TallColor: BlackVerified Purchase
TL;DR SUMMARY RATING:
4 ½ stars -- i.e. 5 stars for durability, uniquely useful form-factor (the higher sides really do make a difference), and Staub’s black ceramic lining’s trademark imperviousness to prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients; minus ½ star for handles that, while fully sealed against rust and liquids, are disconcertingly rough to the touch.

MAIN REVIEW:
Don’t let this cocotte’s unfinished-feeling handles dissuade you: The Staub 5 Quart Tall Cocotte is fully coated (no bare cast iron) and so ready to bring its unique, stockpot-like shape to non-reactive battle with your most acidic ingredients that it might benefit even folks who already own Staub cocottes of other dimensions/volumes.

How do I know? Because while the Staub 5 Quart Tall Cocotte's marriage of a practical, midsized volume and a space-saving, tall, slim, stockpot-like profile has during my 14 months of ownership proven handy for myriad tasks in my small apartment's tiny kitchen -- with the cocotte's tall sides as useful for reducing spatters when roasting or frying as they are for providing extra headroom when braising leafy greens like spinach, collards, or kale -- I bought one mainly to make lemony soups in a smaller, slimmer vessel than the larger Staub cocotte I already owned.

Let me explain. During long Great Lakes winters, I make a weekly mega-batch of veggie soup out of bulk-purchased, dried veggies long-simmered in stock, aromatics, olive oil, and spices over low heat for 12 to 18 hours. Critically, at several junctures during this process, I add ample lemon and/or lime juice to help tenderize the rehydrating veggies, brighten and deepen the soup's flavors, and keep my salt usage low.

This penchant for long-simmered, citrus-accented soup creates specific cookware needs -- as I discovered almost 10 years ago, when I banished all Teflon-coated cookware from my kitchen for a minimalist, gradually-assembled collection of stainless steel, raw cast iron, carbon steel, and enameled cast iron. I soon learned that while stainless steel and enameled cast iron are generally non-reactive when cooking with acidic ingredients, independent cookware studies and cookware manufacturers' guidance caution that long-simmered recipes heavy on acidic ingredients can cause stainless steel vessels to pit or leach.

Thus, back in 2013, I took advantage of an online cookware retailer's clearance sale to snag a ginormous, 9 Quart Staub Cocotte for my weekly mega-batches of citrus-laced veggie soup. Alas, in recent years, having left my office job to work from home, I've found myself wanting to make smaller batches of soup for which my witch's-cauldron-sized, 9 Quart Staub Cocotte -- while still chip-free, rust-free, and gorgeous after nearly a decade of regular use -- is often too capacious, too unwieldy, or too covetous of stovetop real estate when I’m using other burners simultaneously.

Enter Staub's 5 Quart Tall Cocotte -- Staub’s first stockpot-shaped cocotte -- which I purchased in Matte Black in 2021 (after a 2-year wait for a sale price) because it mimics the slim, space-saving form-factor of my favorite stainless-steel stockpot (i.e.  Cuisinart 6-Quart Stockpot w/Cover, Stainless Steel ), sans stainless steel’s susceptibility to pit or leach when subjected to my citrus-laced soups week after week.

And although I initially worried that its unfinished-feeling handles -- which are much rougher to the touch than those of my other Staub enameled cast iron products -- sported exposed cast iron (as many other online consumers have also wondered), the 5 Quart Tall Cocotte’s handles have indeed proved coated with a durable sealant as sturdy and non-reactive as those on its smooth-handled, Staub 9 Quart Cocotte big sister. No chips, rusting, or wear during the past 14 months of weekly lemony soup nirvana. Score!

With the volume of Staub's 4 Quart Cocotte a little too small for my needs, and the squat dimensions of Staub's 5.5 Quart Cocotte wider and lower than the slim, high-sided profile I wanted in a midsized cocotte, Staub's 5 Quart Tall Cocotte provides a 'Goldilocks' form-factor I’ve found ‘just right.’ YMMV.

TL;DR UPSHOT:
IMHO after 14 months of regular use of Staub’s 5 Quart Tall Cocotte, this characteristically durable, versatile, and acidic-ingredient-impervious cocotte is unique enough -- with a form-factor found nowhere else in Staub’s enameled cast iron line -- that even folks who already own Staub cocottes of other capacities/shapes might consider adding the 5 Quart Tall to their kitchen arsenals. YMMV.

Le Creuset is hands down the best bang for your buck. You will have this pot forever if you take care of it. I was a little worried about some minor scratches around the rim that occurred due to shipping but it did not interfere with the cooking quality or the oven itself. I cook bread in this dutch oven all the time and it is a major upgrade. Not only is it gorgeous to look at but it’s nice and tall vs other brands that are typically shorter which can be restrictive. The engineering and quality of this piece is worth every penny and if you are investing in your cooking future this is the one for you!

I love everything about this pan. The exterior is a beautiful ruby red. The interior, being black, doesn't show stains like my light colored interior braiser from another brand does. It heats perfectly on my glass top stove and retains even temps in the oven. Saw a couple reviews about rough handles, chips and rust. There are raised letters saying Staub on the handles but I don't find them rough at all, maybe because being cast iron the pan require pot holders when handling during cooking. Having owned several enameled cast iron dutch ovens at different price points I can say that if cared for and stored properly the higher end products (Staub and Le Creuset) will not chip or rust.

I scored a deal with this item on sale. It arrived well packed with no damage. While there is a small nick on the side of the lid, it is not noticeable and does not affect the pot at all. It's one of the safest types of cookware you can buy. Staub is a standout each time way over the other brands in its class. The red color is so beautiful, giving your kitchen a touch of color and class.

Your food will come out amazing, we were doubtful, but so far beef joint then whole chicken have proven this will pay for itself very quickly, although pricey you cannot afford not to have one.

This authentic Staub Dutch oven is of great quality. However, one of the lid protection plastic pieces was received broken.
