Enjoy both loaf shapes

The round Dutch oven suits classic boules, while the oval Dutch oven accommodates elongated batards. Having both gives you the freedom to try different recipes and loaf shapes.

The cast iron retains heat, while the lids trap steam during the covered stage of baking, helping your dough rise and develop a golden crust. Matching proofing baskets support each loaf during its final proof.

From maintaining your starter to storing the finished loaf, this kit brings your sourdough tools together in one practical collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every knife option include the same accessories?

Yes. Every Double Complete Crust Kit includes both Dutch ovens, both proofing baskets and the full accessory set listed above, including the beeswax-lined bread bag. Your selections determine the Dutch oven colour and which bread knife you receive.

Why have both a round and an oval Dutch oven?

The round Dutch oven suits round loaves, known as boules. The oval Dutch oven suits longer loaves, known as batards. With both shapes available, you can experiment and choose the loaf style you prefer.

Does the kit include sourdough starter?

Sourdough starter is sold separately. You can purchase our Hibiscus Coast Heritage Sourdough Starter, or follow our instructions to create your own starter from scratch. The included starter jar and silicone spatula help you feed and maintain your starter once it is established.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Yes. It suits beginners building their first sourdough setup and experienced home bakers who want both round and oval baking options. Our recipes and how-to guides provide help along the way.

Can I bake two loaves at the same time?

Yes, provided your oven has enough space for both Dutch ovens with room for air to circulate. Check your oven’s internal dimensions before planning to bake both together.

What else will I need?

You’ll need flour, water, salt, an active sourdough starter and everyday kitchen equipment such as kitchen scales, a mixing bowl and suitable oven gloves.

Is this a good gift for a sourdough baker?

Yes. With two Dutch ovens, matching baskets, a choice of bread knife and tools for each stage of the process, it makes a practical gift for someone starting or expanding their sourdough hobby.
