              Hmmm…. just bought 4 litre Sabor. The next size up is 6litre which seems unnecessary.

                I use a 6.3 litre LeCreuset… but that's because I use it for big stews too. 4 litre should work well. The only thing is, if it is too small in diameter it might be difficult to get the bread in it when it's preheated

                      Actually I just checked in FWSY and Ken uses Dutch ovens that are 4 quarts, which translates to 3. Litres so I may be ok after all.

                          By the sound of things, I’ll need something bigger for cooking, but for bread then the 4l will be fine.

                          While you’re there Jeff, I assume when Americans talk about quarts they are talking about US quarts? I notice there is a slight difference between them and imperial quarts…

                                @neph93 yes I'm talking US quarts, but I can throw Liters into that too, and probably your imperial quart.

                                32 oz., 2 pints, 4 cups, 1/4 gallon, 1000 milliliters.

                                dutch oven, covered wagon, le creuset, on my way…

                                @chap that pizza looks great. what type of chile, and do you roast it whole on the pizza? Do you have access to Calabrian chile's there? They are a bit hard to find here, but when i do, they go on my pizzas.

                                      …on my Le Creuset's there is a number on the underside of the lids.

                                      ...#26 = 5.5 quart or 5.3 litre

                                      ...#30 = 9 quart or 8.4 litre

                                      ...these are 'round' dutch ovens.

                                          Thanks gents @vaquero357 @jordanscollected You’ve helped me get a sense of what is on the way to me. I’ll be needing a bigger one in the future for sure, but I now feel confident that 4 liter will work for my bread baking for now.

                                            Alright gals and gents, I am thinking of taking up bread making as part of some new hobbies I am incorporating into my life. What are the items I need to get the party started? Looking for a 1 maybe 2 loaves a week production and most interested in making sourdough. Thanks!
