I was looking for a small pot to cook rice in on my terrible electric coil stove around the same time that I came across a small overnight bread recipe (meant to be cooked in a conventional oven and full sized pot). Then I found this 2 cup enameled cast iron pot at target and realized I could fit it in my air fryer!

Recipe here. It's a straightforward no-knead bread that happened to fit perfectly. In the second picture you can even see a little divot where the top touched the lid handle's screw. It was super easy to quickly mix up the dough at night and then bake in the morning. The only thing I changed was to bake for 25 min covered at 425⁰ where my machine tops out, remove lid and parchment, and then bake both sides uncovered for 3-5 minutes. The heating element is very close to the top of the loaf so that helped it bake more evenly.

It's a good size for a couple snacks or sides and I bet it would make a mean bread bowl.
