Oblong Bread Proofing Basket & Liner

An essential supply for the artisanal home baker. Also known as a "banneton" or "brotform," the proofing basket allows for the final rise or proof of your loaf before placing in the oven. This oblong proofing basket creates the perfect shape for a sourdough loaf and leaves a beautiful spiral pattern on the crust. The proofing basket must be heavily dusted with corn meal or a combination of rice flour and whole wheat flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Should be covered with a damp cloth or plastic bag to prevent the dough from drying out during the proofing stage. With this proofing basket and other bread making tools, you will be well on your way to baking delicious and beautiful artisanal breads at home! 13 x 6 inches Rattan Includes liner Liner 100% natural, unbleached cotton fabric Recipe dough weight: 1.5-2.5 lbs or 680-1130 grams Recipe flour volume: 3-4.5 cups How to Use: Dust the proofing basket with flour and the risen dough drops easily onto your baking surface.
