The Bread Oven was started by master baker Helena Crossley after she completed a three-year apprenticeship at a legendary boulangerie in Lyon. She returned to London with a notebook full of recipes, a passion for long-ferment doughs and an ambition to make truly great bread accessible to everyone.
We mill our own flour from heritage British wheat, source our butter from a small Normandy dairy and bake everything from scratch every morning before dawn. The smell of fresh sourdough at 6am never gets old.
"The sourdough from The Bread Oven is the finest I've found in London. The crust shatters when you cut it and the crumb is open and chewy. Helena has done something remarkable here."
"I order the morning pastry box every Saturday without fail. Six beautiful pastries arrive fresh and warm. The almond croissant is genuinely life-changing — I cannot recommend it enough."
"Ordered a custom birthday cake for my husband and it was absolutely stunning — both in appearance and taste. Helena consulted on the design and delivered something we'll never forget."
"The pain au chocolat rivals anything I've eaten in Paris. The butter is correct, the lamination is correct and the chocolate batons are properly dark. Exceptional work."
Sourdough can be daunting but it needn't be. Helena shares her simplified starter recipe, the key ratios and the one folding technique that will transform your home loaves overnight.
