Quality Trust Integrity

“How did you come up with the idea for this product?

We created LoafNest in our endeavor as a family to eat healthy and tasty everyday. Bread machines produced same industrial bread with little flavor or texture. We found that bread making was a bit of hit-and-miss. Artisan breads with trusted ingredients were hard to find.

We loved no-knead method for our bread making that was simple and consistent. We loved the complex flavors of slow fermented bread. Using our science and engineering thinking we thought it could still be improved in its simplicity. Thus, LoafNest was born to solve our own problem of easy bread making that fits our rhythm. We presented LoafNest to the Kickstarter community in 2018 hoping to find others who would love LoafNest. The backers on Kickstarter made this product a reality.

What makes your product special?

The nice thing about LoafNest is how easy and convenient it makes bread making, which is otherwise an effortful, cumbersome and delicate process.

Apart from that what makes LoafNest really special is that we designed it for our own use. So we made no compromise on quality, safety, functionality and aesthetics. This was important especially for silicone that would need to stay safe at very high temperatures of bread making. We ended up partnering with Sasa Demarle (inventors and makers of famous Silpat mats) using their experience and quality control for LoafNest liner. Similarly, we went to the best possible quality for LoafNest cast iron dutch oven with a reputed supplier in China who also manufactures for several leading brands in US and Europe.

This makes LoafNest a premium product that is durable and useful for every person who is interested in eating healthier and tastier bread.

What has been the best part of your experience?

The best part of this journey is all the feedback we get about LoafNest from its users. It is heartening to see loaves out of LoafNest bringing the smile on the faces of people, everyday across the world. A lot of users write to tell us that they make bread much more often with LoafNest than before. A lot of users are also new to bread making altogether and enjoy their success in bread making with LoafNest. It makes us really proud that we have helped more people to eat healthier and tastier artisan bread more often.

As a small family owned company, we are happy that we could share something really useful with the world and make it a bit more happy and healthy.

After Amazon messed up I purchased direct from Wekigai, they were really helpful and sent a new LoafNest c/w two liners to my home here in Thailand. I used the LoafNest for the first time last night, very easy (I am a baking novice) and it produced a really good quality loaf. I can highly recommend this product, you won’t be disappointed.

Not a cheap purchase but in this case, you get what you pay for. Well made and turns out the most beautiful loaves of sourdough bread with only one downside – they get eaten too quickly! Excellent customer service too, highly recommended, I would add a bread photo if the loaf hung around long enough!

Using the silicon liner works well – very fast clean up. Oven is high quality, very attractive and is good size for medium size loaf. First bake went very well and bread cooked evenly in our Aga.
Liner was missing from original delivery. The vendor responded with a replacement quickly and the company was efficient and pleasant to deal with.
Only reason this review is not 5 stars is the high price. I’d get a second one, but the price point is a problem.
( It would also be helpful if the description gave the volume in ltrs. The measurements are given, but the shape of the oven makes it a lttle difficult to calculate the volume.)

I’ve been using my Loafnest for a year and a half, and it really does make it easy to get an artisanal loaf at home. I find shaping loaves very challenging which was one of the reasons I bought this. I had some initial problems getting a consistent loaf with a good texture (they were too dense and moist), and contacted the Loafnest team for help. Following their suggestions I was able to get the results I was looking for. I do three stretch-and-folds at the beginning of the process, and also add bread improver (available here on Amazon). After the stretch-and-folds (which are very easy) I leave the dough to rise overnight and bake the loaf in the morning. The loaves are still a bit on the dense side and we use an electric slicer to cut thin slices for sandwiches and toast. But it is delicious, flavourful bread that hardly takes any time or effort at all to make. It is a bit pricey but if you don’t already have a dutch oven and only want to make bread, it definitely does the trick.

Absolutely fantastic. The attached pic is my first loaf using the Loafnest. I was a bit sceptical being a seasoned bread maker for years. Simple to do and amazing results, see for yourself!!!!

Even the first bread was good, but it took me 5 or 6 tries to get it right (largely to get the dough well prepared), now the bread’s perfect and only lasts few hours.

Don’t be disappointed with the loafnest being rather small, 500g bread is perfect size, the fact the bred has zero preservatives (and other bad stuff) means it will only last couple of days before it’s too hard, thus having a smaller load makes sense.

This loaf nest makes the art of bread making so much easier. Ok – it’s a lot of money – but I get a perfect loaf every time. It’s worth investing in – in my opinion!

This is a perfect investment if you want to make your own bread , it’s certainly robust and unique in the way to make and create a beautiful loaf of bread, the only downfall is the basic recipe, it’s a bit bitty to start off with but adding different ingredients to it , will make it a perfect loaf of bread, simple and easy to use and yeah expensive it might be, it is worth its weight in gold . The recipes can be found in a PDF file if you look on line , you do not need to follow the one on the box , I just looked for Loafnest recipes online and it came up with that version .
Only thing lacking in that basic recipe is oil , even the traditional bread making consisted of a form of oil , the best one I used was vegetable oil only 20 grams and extra 20 grams of water to make it more moister and yes it did work.

If you follow the standard recipe you get good loaves with an airy texture but deviate and you lose that. Still good bread though . As a Dutch oven for a standard kneaded loaf nothing special – perhaps I should have put water at the bottom. Nice size

When I saw the size of loafnest I thought oh no it’s much too small. How wrong was I.
I use a 1kg sourdough mix sometimes with additions, I thought just give it a go and see. I’m so glad I did. The loaf shown is a cheddar and jalapenos sourdough. The rise you get from loafnest is far superior to my normal Dutch oven.
It’s so good that I’m going to buy another in a couple of months

Unbelievable results using this cast iron oven dish. Very heavy and very hot to handle. I bought silicone gloves and sit it on a wooden chopping board when I take it out of the oven.
Bread is simple to make and no kneading required. Just mix in the evening and leave in a warm place. Ready to cook next day after it has doubled in size.
Every loaf has come out perfect! Just lift it out the liner and no washing up required. My favourite is white wheat loaf with mixed seeds. Really delicious and beats M&S fresh loafs hands down. Tried lots of variations and all come out perfect in 45 minutes. Expensive initially but you won’t be disappointed. Bread maker now redundant as doesn’t come close. If you are considering buying one then just do it!

OK, well all the positives are obvious: the instructions are easy, there is no need to knead, this fits in with a home diary and putting it on between 6.00pm and 7.00pm allows baking between 8.00am and 10.00am. The bread tastes utterly delicious, and it’s easy to vary a topping. So far, it’s been wipe clean only as the non stick liner does just that. My family are v v happy. My gut (I have severe IBS) tolerates this bread far better than quick fermentation bread. The only negative is the price, which is eyewatering, but . . . the cost of a real artisan loaf is a fraction of buying one, and as my Aga is on I am making good use of it. I would love a larger size as well. I am very, very happy I purched this.

Has made perfect bread every time I have used it. I make 2 loaves a week. Before getting this I had tried every method of making sourdough bread I could find on the web to limited success. There is only one negative about this I can think of. As I am disabled (only one arm). Not the fact it is extremely heavy. Just that the top section and the bottom section handles aren’t in line making it a tad awkward for me to line up top and bottom when placing in the oven. Small price to pay though as the results are an amazing tasty loaf.

In one sense, nothing about the LoafNest is revolutionary: no knead bread is a well- established technique, as is using a dutch oven particularly for high hydration doughs, as is the use of silicone liners to avoid sticking.

The reason why the LoafNest has revolutionised my bread making is how it brings these established elements together to enable me to bake a loaf completely consistently, easily, with no mess. The cast iron dutch oven is exactly the right shape for a loaf with 500g flour, and the silicone liner fits exactly the whole lower half of the dutch oven and the loaf.

I am not a baker but have probably baked some 200 loaves over the years. Low hydration doughs (60% water) were easy to shape, but lacked texture and flavour. High hydration doughs (80% water) gave me the texture and flavour I wanted but I struggled to work the dough (very messy) and then to shape the loaf (it spread out too flat). No knead recipes solve the messiness of working with high hydration doughs, and dutch ovens solve the problem of shaping the loaf (as well as crust and texture). But even my no knead doughs stuck to a dutch oven, and using parchment paper takes me a while. The LoafNest solves all that. Could I learn to work high hydration dough and shape it accurately by hand? Sure I could. But I don’t want to because I eat bread every day and I don’t want to spend that much time trying to perfect each loaf.

With the LoafNest I only wash up one bowl and one fork — that’s it; the silicone liner just needs a rinse after use. I don’t actually touch the dough at all. There is no mess. Of the loaves I have done they have been completely reliable, all have been delicious and they look incredible.

The only thing you do have to consider is that you need to leave the dough to ferment for 18 hours. So, 3pm for a 9am bake the next morning. This does need planning. If you think you won’t be able to plan out like that then the LoafNest probably isn’t for you, but then again probably long fermentation loaves are not for you. If you love and want to learn the artistry of working high hydration dough with your hands then, again, the LoafNest is not for you because you don’t touch the dough. If you want easy, reliable, tasty home-made bread then I’d strongly recommend this.
