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

The v2 is the same size as the Original BreadMat

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 absolutely LOVE the bread mat! I had been using a cheap silicone sling from Amazon, but this product is far superior. I’ve had mine for a few months and bake 4-6 loaves a week. There is no sign of wear at all! They’re lightweight, easy to clean, roll up neatly to store, and save so much parchment paper! They are totally worth the investment.
    The only thing I’d change if I could would be to have the option to buy one with longer handles for my deeper dutch ovens. The current handle length is great if you’re baking with a bread cloche or challenger pan, but are a bit short to reach in dutch oven. Not a deal breaker by any means, though.

    I am in love with TheBreadMat!! It’s a perfect fit for 4 different-sized round and oval dutch ovens that I use. I’ve baked about 4-6 loaves every weekend for the past 2 months and they are still in pristine condition. My favorite thing about TheBreadMat is the consistently perfect and crisp bread and pizza bottoms! I would highly recommend this to any baker.

    Hi Mike,
    I’m happy with the bread mat I purchased from your website. It gave me the most evenly baked bread bottom ever and helped me avoid burns on my hands when lifting the bread out of the Dutch oven. Super!

    I used to reuse parchment paper to avoid waste. The ripping, burning and weird crimped lines in my bread was very annoying. This is an amazing product that avoids waste and makes such a nice, clean, evenly cooked bottom!

    I’ve been baking sourdough for years now, and The Bread Mat is a game changer. It distributes the heat so evenly across the bottom of my loaves that I’m getting golden crusts where I used to get slight burnt patches. It’s easy to use, store and wash. I highly recommend this for anyone baking bread. I’m so glad I chose to change it up and give this a try – I won’t go back.
