A Dutch oven is what gives sourdough its crisp, deep crust and open crumb. These bundles pair one with everything you need to start: the starter, the flour, the tools and the pot itself, all in one box. The lid traps steam in the first few minutes of baking, which is what helps the loaf spring up and colour properly. Buying it together also costs less than picking up each piece on its own.
Not sure which Dutch oven to go for? The slim cast iron one fits two side by side in a standard oven, so you can bake more in a session. The enamel versions come in a slim shape or a taller round shape that gives the dough room to rise. Every bundle includes the matching starter kit, so the only real choice is the pot.
More than 90,000 home bakers have started with You Knead, and every starter comes with our active starter guarantee. Pick the bundle that suits your oven and your budget, and you will have everything to bake from day one.
