Reader Submitted: A Lovely Terracotta Solution to Steam-Baking Bread at Home

The Spring Oven is a product that started as a university project and became something much more.

I love homemade bread, and as I began to learn about the science of bread baking, I found that steam-baking bread is a trick bakeries use to increase the rise and perfect the crust of their bread. In my final year at university, I set out to design a product that would allow me to produce steam-baked bread at home.

The Spring Oven is the simple answer to the steaming challenges that face any home bread baker.
