The qualities of cast iron make it the perfect material for baking. We have visions of early pilgrim-housewives bringing freshly baked bread to the breakfast table. The dough has raised so nicely, the bread looks like it would spill over the container. But they stop rising and continue to cook just when they are just a rounded mound over the cast iron bread pan. They stay fresh and hot, an important component of a filling breakfast.

A cast iron bread pan is perfect for baking. Even heat distribution provides a golden brown crust all around. Handles on each end make removing from the oven a cinch. Its non-stick quality makes retrieval from the pan easy. Surprise your family with freshly baked bread one morning. They will surely want you to do it more often.
