Yes, you can make oval loaves with a round BreadMat. I do it all the time!

Which one should you get? Sizing below based on popular vessels:

Vessel BreadMat Size
Lodge 4.5 Qt. Dutch Oven The BreadMat v2
Lodge 6 Qt. Dutch Oven -L or v2
Lodge 7 Qt. Dutch Oven The BreadMat-L
Field Company No 10 The BreadMat-L
Challenger Bread Pan The BreadMat-C
Lodge 3.2 Qt. Combo Cooker The BreadMat v2
Le Creuset Bread Oven The BreadMat v2

I cannot recommend the Lodge 5 Qt. Combo Cooker or the Lodge 5qt Dutch Oven as the diameter is too small and the uncoated rough interior can cause wear on the mat which can shorten its longevity. If you already own one of these, I recommend purchasing the Lodge 3.2 Qt. Combo Cooker and using the base of that (which perfectly fits The BreadMat) with the deeper side of the Combo Cooker or Dutch Oven as a lid.

Description

The BreadMat™ is a reusable parchment paper replacement. It is shaped to fit the majority of popular baking vessels.

Strong handles make moving bread in and out of a hot oven easier and safer than using parchment.

The unique patented design enhances heat distribution, evening color and reducing burns.

It is made from LFGB platinum food-safe silicone and is rated to 500F.

The BreadMat will reduce dark spots and encourage even baking on the bottom of your loaf, but if it still too dark after using The BreadMat, it is recommended to place a heavy baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven to act as a heat shield to further reduce darkening and to protect your BreadMat from excessive heat.

Return Policy:
Since these are a food contact item, I cannot return opened BreadMats.

The BreadMat is manufactured in China

    I got the v2 2 pack!
    I’ve used the mats a few times, and I’m enjoying them so far!

    Pros – they’re large enough to handle a wide range of dough weights and shapes.
    Easy to clean- I wipe them with a wet cloth and let them air dry.
    They’re aesthetically quite pleasing 🙂
    Seem to be holding up at 450-470F for about an hour each bake.

    Cons- it seems a little hard to get the flour dusting out from within the grooves, even after I hand wash them.
    They are a little stiff, so I’ve had trouble getting them into a smaller Dutch oven and the bread bakes with an odd shape.
    They work best in the Le Creuset Bread oven, not as well in the Lodge skillet +pot Dutch oven set.

    Nice purchase overall, I’m hoping these will last me a long time!

    This bread mat is amazing! No more cutting parchment paper rounds. I love the long handles to enable me to lower the bread into the preheated Dutch oven without burning my hands!

    Love my bread mat! No more dealing with parchment paper sticking to my loaves!
