Making bread, no oven

Do you make bread without a full-fledged oven? How do you do it? What kinds of breada do you recommend to a noob baker without an oven? I have a cheapo toaster oven and a frying pan with a lid and would like to have a go at making yeast breads.

    I haven't yet tried it myself, but I have actually seen a few frugal influencers that I follow on Instagram using Dutch ovens to bake sourdough on their stovetops. I'm inspired to give it a go, since we go through a fair bit of bread and it would be nice to DIY for the health and cost benefits. There are some resources online if you search for phrases like "stovetop bread baking" or "Dutch oven baking".

    We actually have an oven and I have never baked bread. It's something I thought about this winter, but making yeast breads with almost no counter space sounds like too much. Try searching "rice cooker bread" - I thought this might be a thing and now I wanna try it.

    @helloalissa I'm so jealous...if I could pick one thing to have in a kitchen that would make life so much easier here it would be an oven! I had seen people online baking cakes in their rice cookers, so I should have put two and two together that bread could be possible as well. It's nice to know that there are some options available, even if they do require some thinking outside the box!

    @genkidesu Do you have a Dutch oven? I'll research them to see if I can manage one in my kitchen. Only two gas rings!

    @helloalissa I don't have a rice cooker. About 5 years ago, mine went kaput and I've been using a donabe ever since with great results.

    @TonetoEdo I have one but have never tried using it to make bread! We often use it for soups/stews in winter, though!

Quality Japan content Tiktok?

I have succumbed to Tiktok...Forgive me. When I first started engaging with Tiktok Lite, a lot of Japanese content was pushed to me by the algorythm. Some good, some junk. My favorite right now is こねこフィルム/ CONECO FILM, a producer of shorts that are absurd, funny, and touching. Have you found some excpeptional Japanese content on Tiktok? Especially content that provides you with Japanese listening comprehension, cultural insights, or off-the-beaten-path travel destinations?

Best places for One Piece merch/things to do?

My son has recently become very interested in all things One Piece, and I was wondering if any of you know some fun places to check out for merchandise or One Piece events/activities. I know there used to be the thing at Tokyo Tower, but that has since closed. Any tips would be appreciated!
