Your Cast Iron Dutch Oven will need periodic maintenance to keep looking new.
Here's the process for the first wash and prep and whenever it looks like your Cast Iron Dutch Oven needs it:
Wash: Use dish soap and rinse well.
Dry: Thoroughly dry with a tea towel. No drip drying.
Warm: Place on low heat until completely dry. 160°C in the oven for 10mins will do the trick.
Oil: Apply a neutral oil with a dry cloth and place in the oven at 200°C for half an hour, then let cool.
Done: After cooling in the oven it's ready to be stored away, patiently waiting for it's next use.
Turns out great crispy loaves. Excellent!
The first loaf was amazing and a few failures along the way with different flours and learning although there is a recipe it’s more about knowing the look and feel of the dough throughout the process which comes with trial and error. We are now looking to buy another banneton to increase output as you just can’t go back to buying sourdough when your home is now filled with the smell of freshly baked sourdough and its tastes divine.
The starter kit is definitely the way to go, we contemplated doing a course but given we have some good baking/cooking experience we thought making the investment in the equipment would be best and glad we did. The one recommendation I would give is to feed your starter with rye flour instead of white flour, we struggled a little to get the starter going with the white flour but the rye flour was a game changer.
I bought 2 of these as they fit in my 60cm oven side by side... quality dutch ovens for serious bread makers...
Very happy with the purchase of my Dutch oven, great quality, perfect size and bakes my sourdough beautifully. Very impressed, highly recommend a game changer❣️

I bought this rectangular Dutch I’ve. For sourdough making. 2 would fit side by side in a standard kitchen oven. It’s heavy, it gets hot. A great buy.
