The Spring Oven is an award-winning terracotta bread cloche featuring a patented built-in water channel that generates steam during baking to produce artisan-quality loaves with a superior "oven spring" and a perfect, crunchy crust.


The Secret to Bakery-Quality Artisan Bread

Achieving professional-grade steam in a standard home oven is notoriously difficult. The Spring Oven solves this with an integrated reservoir that creates a localized, high-humidity environment. This specialized steaming process allows the dough to expand fully before the crust sets, resulting in a lighter internal crumb and a professional, well-coloured finish.

Frequently asked questions

Why is steam important when baking bread?

Steam keeps the surface of the dough moist at the start of the bake, allowing the loaf to expand fully (the "oven spring") while creating a thin, crisp, and beautifully caramelised crust.
Can I use the Spring Oven for more than just bread?

Yes! While designed for artisan loaves, its efficient steaming process is also excellent for cooking vegetables, fish, and moist cakes.
Is it safe to preheat the Spring Oven?

Yes, the high-fired terracotta is designed to be preheated in your oven to a high temperature before placing your dough on the baking platform.
