Yeah!!! I need this, I bought some fresh yeast and just now learned I can freeze it... homemade breads are coming (sadly my baking pot got destroyed 😱, now I need new technique or a new pot)
I use an old Tupper Ultra. Works great. A Römertopf is good for bread baking, too.
Destroyed? 😱!
Can you just put a loaf on a baking tray or, like @bozz, use coffee tins?
Yes, old metal coffee cans because the new ones are plastic or they have a lip in them which keeps the bread from sliding out.
@muscara, @shanibeer and @bozz, so far I baked my breads with the Ploetz method (@akkippon wrote about this i think I remember) and for this technique you use a pre-heated cast iron pot with a tight iron lid for the bread. We used our cast iron pot for baking and cooking and in one moment of tiredness my husband used a thin not heat proofed plastic dough scraper in this hot iron pot. It melted right away and we had an inseparable iron-plastic amalgam. He was so sad (me too)... I instantly wrote the brand, but they advised to not use the pot anymore (I thought you could perhaps polish and re-season it, but they said no).
Long story short... I am dreaming of a new cast iron pot, but they are very expensive here. I have no other pot (no Römertopf) which I could use in the oven. And the tin idea is not doable, all tins have a plastic coating here. I will research more bread recipes for cake forms and safe for the new pot :-DDD (or simply eat more cake instead of bread 😂)
Right now it's difficult, but try and look in second hand shops.
Good idea! I also thought to look at eBay...
I tried the cast iron pot idea after reading about it on your blog, but I found my bread worked just as well in a straightforward loaf tin (I found two non-stick versions very cheaply in TK Maxx), or shaped and put on a baking tray.

Thank youuuuu (and again I have to research this new token 😊)

Looks great! It's interesting that nothing divides the world so much as bread with all the different kinds of "how bread is supposed to be". And let's not talk about flour - never try to copy a foreign bread recipe ;) Even in Europe, flour types change from one country to another.
Bread is supposed to be delicious, that's the only criteria!
Good to see more breadbakers - the flour suppliers here have been overwhelmed with orders, so I guess a lot more people are taking it up.

Very nice! I have a recipe for bread that I make in old coffee cans so it comes out round. The hardest part for me is always getting the yeast to rise properly. I think I either use too warm or too cold water and I end up killing it. What I usually end up doing is warming up some water in the microwave and then throwing the cans in there with the steaming water. It rises in no time!
Two good tips - coffee cans and steaming water in the microwave to get a hot moist environment!
Okay - water: I use 100ml boiling water from the kettle topped up with 200ml cold water - that gives you about the right temperature.
