Description
Proofing bread is an important process in the baking process. It gives the dough time to rise and settle into a shape that will allow it to bake flawlessly from inside to out. Some bakers just use the old bowl and towel technique. However, our banneton proofing basket, as a bowl for rising bread, will produce better loaves with greater taste and texture.
Proofing is an essential method to create perfect bread loaves that are soft on the inside with a crisp crust outside. Our banneton proofing baskets for sourdough and batard bread is designed to provide you that and more. This is the right sourdough bread supplies kit for any artisan bread bakers.
How to Use: Dust the proofing basket with flour and the risen dough drops easily onto your baking surface. For proofing very wet doughs, as called for with the popular no knead bread recipes, for example, the optional cloth liner (see below) is the simplest solution. Working flour (rice flour is particularly effective) into the cloth liner will release wet dough.
Care Instructions: Cleaning the Brotform proofing basket is usually just a matter of tapping it on the edge of your kitchen sink. If necessary, rinse it out with hot water with your faucet in spray mode. Shake off excess water and place upside down over still warm oven to dry quickly. Don’t use soap.
