The “Exceptional” Le Creuset Bread Oven That Turns Out Bakery-Quality Loaves Is on Sale — and Definitely Going to Sell Out

With so many deals happening now, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones to shop first (trust us, we totally understand). But home bakers who love having fresh loaves on hand — especially for holiday dinners — will want to take advantage of one of the deals Williams Sonoma has going on.

Right now, you can pick up the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Bread Oven for 20% off. With this discount, you’ll be able to walk away with the $300 bread oven for just $240. And better yet, if you snag it before November 22, you’ll be able to make a fresh loaf (or two or three) in it for Thanksgiving. And while Le Creuset offers its bread oven in a variety of stunning colors, this discount only applies to the Matte Navy shade — a colorway the brand is currently phasing out. Whether you want it for your own bread making or think it would be a gorgeous gift for a fellow home baker, you won’t want to sleep on this deal. 

The first thing you need to know about the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Bread Oven is that it is seriously well loved. Not only did our editors name it one of the best Le Creuset baking dishes, but even Oprah Winfrey loved the bakeware enough to give it a coveted spot on the 2023 Oprah’s Favorite Things list. 

It makes sense that so many people love it. Beyond the fact that it — like really all of Le Creuset’s products — looks absolutely stunning, it can also help you bake some delicious, crusty homemade loaves. And we would know — our contributor Danielle put the bread oven to test, baking up six loaves in it. Her takeaway? “It’s a gorgeous and versatile piece that helps deliver high-quality bread and will likely inspire you to keep your sourdough starter alive for years to come,” she wrote in her review for The Kitchn. 

Danielle did note that she wasn’t originally convinced about the bread oven’s design, but her testing proved it to be beneficial. “I was concerned the narrow-yet-tall shape would be limiting, but after baking more than six loaves of bread, I found it didn’t negatively impact my usual loaves at all,” she wrote. “In fact, the narrow profile was a serious asset, keeping the heat and steam close to the loaves while offering enough room for plenty of lift.”

Naturally, this bread oven can totally be thrown into your conventional oven (but not one higher than 500°F). That said, it can also withstand being kept in the freezer and/or being warmed on your stovetop, if you need.

Given that you can grab this bread oven for 20% off at Williams Sonoma right now (just in time for Thanksgiving!), you won’t want to wait to grab this acclaimed bakeware for your own home.
