Frieling Round Proofing Basket, Brotform Bread Rising Banneton and Serving Basket, 8-inch

TRADITIONAL BROTFORM BASKET: This is a traditional rising basket, just like those used by bakers for centuries. Now you can elevate your bread baking experience and harness the wisdom of years past with this high quality bread proofing and serving basket. It's perfect for all of your homemade artisan bread, such as sourdough, country white, whole wheat, and rye. YIELDS A BETTER CRUST: When you've put the time and effort into creating the perfect loaf, you want the best equipment to help it rise and to serve it. This proofing basket yields a better rise, a crunchy ribbed crust, and a superior texture for which European bread is known. It can also be used as an elegant rustic serving basket for your freshly baked loaf. QUALITY MATERIALS: This proofing basket is made of natural cane that wicks moisture away from the surface of your dough to yield a firm, crispy crust. The design of the basket means the dough will release easily from the basket after rising. The bread basket is about 8" inch diameter and will hold a 2-pound loaf. EASY TO USE: Simply flour the Brotform and place kneaded bread dough in the basket for its final rise. Then, transfer the loaf onto a baking sheet to bake. This basket is intended for proofing bread; please do not place it in the oven. After the bread is baked, you can then transfer your loaf back to the basket for keeping warm and serving.
