Bread is elemental: flour, water, salt, and yeast. All you need to transform it from raw dough into something delicious is heat, as well as a vessel to keep that heat from escaping. For home bakers, that vessel is usually a Dutch oven, which captures the steam to create a burnished, blistered crust (mimicking the effect of the steam-injection ovens that commercial bakeries use). Great Dutch ovens can be quite cheap and can last a lifetime, which is why I did a double-take when I saw the $225 price tag on the Insta-popular Challenger Bread Pan.
