Can I bake sourdough in a cast iron bread pan with a lid?

Absolutely, you can use a cast iron bread pan with a lid! It works similarly to a Dutch oven, trapping steam to help your bread rise. Just remember to preheat it well and use heat-resistant gloves. Aim for a core temperature of 92 °C (197 °F) to ensure it's fully baked.

Knowing the exact baking time is sometimes a little challenging as it might be that the outside of your bread is cooked but the inside is still raw. The best way is to use a thermometer and measure the core temperature. At around 92 °C (197 °F) your dough is done. I generally bake loaf pan bread at around 200 °C (390 °F), which is a little less than my freestanding bread which I bake at 230 °C (445 °F). That’s because it takes a while for the dough to bake properly inside the loaf pan. The edges don’t heat up as quickly. Then the top part of the dough is properly cooked, while the inside isn’t yet. When baking make sure to use steam or simply place another equally sized loaf pan on top of your loaf pan. This way you simulate a Dutch oven. The dough’s evaporating moisture will stay inside.
