I don't have a LeCreuset dutch oven.

I have a Mehu-Liisa fruit steamer and its water pan can work as a

scroll down. It's pretty substantial.

I have a Schlemmertopf clay roaster.

I have a crockpot with removable ceramic insert.

What is my best choice to bake this bread in? I'm fretting over
preheating the container to 450° Ð I keep thinking something awful is
going to happen to it when I dump the dough into it for baking.

Whaddaya think?
Thanks,

I use a crockpot liner with an all-glass lid.
I do wipe it with a light schmear of lard, prior to preheating.
Most of the grease will burn off at 450 - 500 F, but my loaf doesn't
stick...

Thanks, Dave.
