Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for controlling the humidity in a cooking chamber of an oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a cooking chamber, a cooling air flow passageway positioned outside the cooking chamber, a cooling fan positioned in the cooling air flow passageway, and a vent enabling flow communication between the cooking chamber and cooling air flow passageway. One or more humidity sensors may be placed in or around the oven appliance to measure the humidity of the ambient air and the humidity of the air in the cooking chamber. A controller may achieve improved humidity control of the cooking chamber by selectively operating the cooling fan to adjust the humidity within the cooking chamber based on the measured humidity of the ambient air and the air in the cooking chamber.
