NO-KNEAD CAST-IRON BREAD RECIPE
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Pour in the lukewarm water and, using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it comes together into a sticky dough. If it isn’t sticky, add more water, a couple tablespoons at a time, to get there. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and keep in a draft-free place for 18 to 24 hours.
Lightly flour a work surface. Gently remove the dough from the bowl. Form the dough into a ball, gently tucking the sides of the dough under. Place the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours, until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place a medium cast-iron cocotte into the oven while it preheats.
Carefully remove it from the oven when hot. Using the parchment paper sides as handles, gently lower the dough into the cocotte. Cover the cocotte, place it into the oven, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the bread is golden brown in color. Remove the bread from the cocotte and allow to cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups bread flour, plus more for the work surface
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 1⁄3 cups lukewarm water, plus more as needed

Product Description
Product Description
The Staub cocotte is unsurpassed for slow-cooking meats and vegetables to tender perfection, and for simmering hearty stews and soups. Cast iron possesses exceptional heat-retaining qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout. The innovative lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results.
Staub. With their exquisite enamel finish, each piece transitions beautifully from the kitchen to the table. From comfort food to sumptuous suppers, every dish is special when served in Staub.
Staub enameled cast iron cookware is the choice of the world's best chefs. With exceptional durability, it is perfect for day-to-day use in both gourmet home kitchens and prestigious restaurants around the world. Built to last a lifetime, these heirloom pieces can be passed from generation to generation.

"Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are a multitude of dishes that emerge delectably from Staub's signature French oven. This attractive 5-quart cocotte, available in an array of rich colors, is an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups, casseroles, and roasted meats, as well as many other one-pot meals. Measuring 10-1/4 inches in diameter, the cocotte is constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot and lid edges to prevent chipping and rusting. And with its decorative design, it serves as beautifully as it cooks.
Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a smooth, heavy earthenware base that will never warp and can handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and convection. Like the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast iron for durability and even heat distribution and retention (handles and brass or stainless steel lid knobs do get hot, so use caution). The lid features innovative self-basting spikes to continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they cook. The black-matte enameled interior doesn't need seasoning and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become a self-seasoned, non-stick surface. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F, Staub's French oven doesn't need high heat and so should be used on low to medium settings. For best care, use with silicone or wooden utensils and wash by hand with non-abrasive cleaners. The cocotte comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.

4 ½ stars -- i.e. 5 stars for durability, uniquely useful form-factor (the higher sides really do make a difference), and Staub’s black ceramic lining’s trademark imperviousness to prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients; minus ½ star for handles that, while fully sealed against rust and liquids, are disconcertingly rough to the touch.
MAIN REVIEW:
Don’t let this cocotte’s unfinished-feeling handles dissuade you: The Staub 5 Quart Tall Cocotte is fully coated (no bare cast iron) and so ready to bring its unique, stockpot-like shape to non-reactive battle with your most acidic ingredients that it might benefit even folks who already own Staub cocottes of other dimensions/volumes.
How do I know? Because while the Staub 5 Quart Tall Cocotte's marriage of a practical, midsized volume and a space-saving, tall, slim, stockpot-like profile has during my 14 months of ownership proven handy for myriad tasks in my small apartment's tiny kitchen -- with the cocotte's tall sides as useful for reducing spatters when roasting or frying as they are for providing extra headroom when braising leafy greens like spinach, collards, or kale -- I bought one mainly to make lemony soups in a smaller, slimmer vessel than the larger Staub cocotte I already owned.
Let me explain. During long Great Lakes winters, I make a weekly mega-batch of veggie soup out of bulk-purchased, dried veggies long-simmered in stock, aromatics, olive oil, and spices over low heat for 12 to 18 hours. Critically, at several junctures during this process, I add ample lemon and/or lime juice to help tenderize the rehydrating veggies, brighten and deepen the soup's flavors, and keep my salt usage low.
This penchant for long-simmered, citrus-accented soup creates specific cookware needs -- as I discovered almost 10 years ago, when I banished all Teflon-coated cookware from my kitchen for a minimalist, gradually-assembled collection of stainless steel, raw cast iron, carbon steel, and enameled cast iron. I soon learned that while stainless steel and enameled cast iron are generally non-reactive when cooking with acidic ingredients, independent cookware studies and cookware manufacturers' guidance caution that long-simmered recipes heavy on acidic ingredients can cause stainless steel vessels to pit or leach.
Thus, back in 2013, I took advantage of an online cookware retailer's clearance sale to snag a ginormous, 9 Quart Staub Cocotte for my weekly mega-batches of citrus-laced veggie soup. Alas, in recent years, having left my office job to work from home, I've found myself wanting to make smaller batches of soup for which my witch's-cauldron-sized, 9 Quart Staub Cocotte -- while still chip-free, rust-free, and gorgeous after nearly a decade of regular use -- is often too capacious, too unwieldy, or too covetous of stovetop real estate when I’m using other burners simultaneously.
Enter Staub's 5 Quart Tall Cocotte -- Staub’s first stockpot-shaped cocotte -- which I purchased in Matte Black in 2021 (after a 2-year wait for a sale price) because it mimics the slim, space-saving form-factor of my favorite stainless-steel stockpot (i.e. Cuisinart 6-Quart Stockpot w/Cover, Stainless Steel ), sans stainless steel’s susceptibility to pit or leach when subjected to my citrus-laced soups week after week.
And although I initially worried that its unfinished-feeling handles -- which are much rougher to the touch than those of my other Staub enameled cast iron products -- sported exposed cast iron (as many other online consumers have also wondered), the 5 Quart Tall Cocotte’s handles have indeed proved coated with a durable sealant as sturdy and non-reactive as those on its smooth-handled, Staub 9 Quart Cocotte big sister. No chips, rusting, or wear during the past 14 months of weekly lemony soup nirvana. Score!
With the volume of Staub's 4 Quart Cocotte a little too small for my needs, and the squat dimensions of Staub's 5.5 Quart Cocotte wider and lower than the slim, high-sided profile I wanted in a midsized cocotte, Staub's 5 Quart Tall Cocotte provides a 'Goldilocks' form-factor I’ve found ‘just right.’ YMMV.
TL;DR UPSHOT:
IMHO after 14 months of regular use of Staub’s 5 Quart Tall Cocotte, this characteristically durable, versatile, and acidic-ingredient-impervious cocotte is unique enough -- with a form-factor found nowhere else in Staub’s enameled cast iron line -- that even folks who already own Staub cocottes of other capacities/shapes might consider adding the 5 Quart Tall to their kitchen arsenals. YMMV.
