Our proofing basket with a diameter of 22 cm is carefully designed to ensure a smooth surface, allowing dough to maintain its shape and release effortlessly onto the baking surface with a dusting of flour. Cleaning is a breeze – simply shake out excess flour after each use or use the provided cloth liner if desired. With its accommodating size, it’s perfect for baking medium to large boules.
Step-by-step:
1. Insert the linen liner into the basket and smooth it into place.
2. Dust generously with flour (rice flour works best to prevent sticking).
3. Place the shaped dough seam-side up into the lined basket.
4. Cover and let it proof at room temperature or in the fridge (cold proof).
5. When ready to bake, invert onto parchment or a peel, gently remove the liner, score the dough, and bake.
Care tips:
Let the liner dry completely after use.
Shake or brush out excess flour.
Wash only if necessary and air-dry thoroughly before storing.
