  I haven't yet tried it myself, but I have actually seen a few frugal influencers that I follow on Instagram using Dutch ovens to bake sourdough on their stovetops. I'm inspired to give it a go, since we go through a fair bit of bread and it would be nice to DIY for the health and cost benefits. There are some resources online if you search for phrases like "stovetop bread baking" or "Dutch oven baking".

  We actually have an oven and I have never baked bread. It's something I thought about this winter, but making yeast breads with almost no counter space sounds like too much. Try searching "rice cooker bread" - I thought this might be a thing and now I wanna try it.

  @helloalissa I'm so jealous...if I could pick one thing to have in a kitchen that would make life so much easier here it would be an oven! I had seen people online baking cakes in their rice cookers, so I should have put two and two together that bread could be possible as well. It's nice to know that there are some options available, even if they do require some thinking outside the box!

  @genkidesu Do you have a Dutch oven? I'll research them to see if I can manage one in my kitchen. Only two gas rings!

  @helloalissa I don't have a rice cooker. About 5 years ago, mine went kaput and I've been using a donabe ever since with great results.

  @TonetoEdo I have one but have never tried using it to make bread! We often use it for soups/stews in winter, though!

  @TonetoEdo It sounds a bit inconvenient but probably more delicious to cook rice that way! I depend on my rice cooker's timer function and the fact that I don't have to stay in the kitchen to cook so for me it's a must. Anyway, I'll be looking for your results of no oven bread experiments.

  @helloalissa One of the joys of donabe rice cooking is おこげ okoge, flavourful scorched rice. It does take a bit of effort not to overdo it, and then some elbow-grease to get the remains off the bottom of the donabe. Before the weather gets too hot, I'll have a go at frypan bread recipes and tell you about the results!
