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

The v2, -L, and -C all feature a solid silicone border to strengthen the mat
The v2 is the same size as the Original BreadMat
The -L has longer handles
The -C is cut perfectly for The Challenger Bread Pan

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 7.5 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 love using the Bread Mat because it keeps the bottom of the loaf from getting overdone. Plus the handles make it easy to maneuver the loaf in and out.
    It makes a great gift too.

  2. Rob Bultman (verified owner)

    I got both the “regular” one and the “long” one. The long one was definitely needed for my 7 qt cast iron Dutch oven. The mat worked as advertised including reducing burning on the bottom of the loaf. It cleans up easily. Highly recommended.

  3. Sara (verified owner)

    The bread mat works perfectly and is such an improvement over parchment paper! Great product.

  4. Marie (verified owner)

    Loving the reusable baking mats and the savings on parchment paper

  5. T. Lewis (verified owner)

    It doesn’t really work well with the Challenger Bread Pan. Unlike with a Dutch oven with tall sides, because the Challenger pan has a flat bottom there is no way to easily tuck the flaps inside the cover, so it breaks the seal during the first phase when trying to add steam through spraying or the addition of ice cubes.

      Hoping I can help with this! The BreadMat-C fits the Challenger perfectly. And the v2 of the BreadMat also fits really well. The -L, agreed, would not be a good fit. The handles simply press into the edge of pan and then turn and stick straight up. This allows you to put the lid on and trap the steam. Hope that helps! – Mike
