The Complete Double Crust Sourdough Kit with
- All-in-One Sourdough Kit with Two Dutch Ovens & Full Toolset
Take Your Sourdough Journey Further.
The ultimate "no-compromise" kit for the dedicated home baker. Building on everything we love about our Essential Kit, The Complet Double Crust was born from a simple realization: eventually, every baker wants to master both the classic round boule and the elegant oval batard. This set gives you the freedom to do both without ever having to "make do" with the wrong-shaped pot.
Why choose The Double Crust Kit?
Versatility: Includes a 4.7L Round Dutch Oven for classic boules and a 4.2L Oval Dutch Oven specifically for batards.
Steam Control: Enameled cast iron provides the thermal mass and steam retention required for professional "oven spring."
Complete System: Ships with the Monkey Lame, Rattan Banneton, and heavy-duty cleaning brush.
NZ Ready: Stocked locally in New Zealand for immediate dispatch.
What’s Included in the Kit:
Round Enamel and Oval Enamel Dutch Ovens: The "engines" of your bake. They trap steam perfectly for that professional artisanal crust.
Matching Pair of Rattan Bannetons: Sized to fit each pot exactly, preventing your dough from spreading and forcing a better oven spring.
Signature Monkey Lame: Our favorite tool for safe, precise scoring and beautiful "ear" development.
Natural Fibre Cleaning Brush [NEW]: The missing piece of the puzzle. Easily clear flour from your rattan grooves and clean your tools without damaging them.
Bench & Dough Scrapers: For effortless shaping and clean-up.
Wooden Bow Knife (The Slicer): The most satisfying way to finish the journey. Its ultra-thin, serrated blade glides through even the crustiest sourdough without crushing the airy crumb you worked so hard to create.
Cotton Bread Bag: Because a great loaf deserves to stay fresh. This breathable, heavy-duty bag allows for proper airflow, keeping your crust crisp and your bread soft for days.
Professional Starter Jar [NEW]: The home for your liquid gold. Made from borosilicate glass with a wide mouth for easy feeding, it includes a thermometer and a date-tracking band so you never have to guess when your starter is at its peak.
Danish Dough Whisk (The Mixer): Our secret weapon for the "shaggy mass" stage. The unique flow-through design cuts through dough effortlessly, mixing flour and water without overworking the gluten or getting stuck in a wooden spoon.
Precision Silicone Spatula: Designed with the perfect balance of flexibility and strength. It’s essential for cleanly scraping down your starter jar and folding high-hydration dough without the sticky mess.

FAQ: The Details
What is the difference between the Round and Oval Dutch Oven in this kit?
The Round pot is designed for traditional circular loaves (boules), while the Oval pot is elongated to accommodate "batard" style loaves, giving you professional results for any recipe.
Is this cast iron kit compatible with induction cooktops?
Yes, our enameled cast iron is compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops, as well as being oven-safe up to 260°C.
How do I use the new cleaning brush?
Rattan is a natural material that likes to stay dry. Use the stiff natural bristles to flick out dried dough or excess flour from your banneton after use. It’s also perfect for cleaning your scrapers and the fine edges of your Monkey Lame.
Does this kit come with instructions?
Yes! We include a "Quick Start" guide to help you care for your cast iron and rattan so your Essential Kit lasts a lifetime.
