Mainstays Glass Mixing Bowl, 4 Quart

I have purchased 5 of these sturdy clear 4qt. glass bowls. I've given two away to new bread bakers. I sometimes use 3 at a time to make 9 loaves of sour dough bread. It is the perfect size to allow my bread to double in size overnight (sometimes it grows a little over the top of the bowl).

This glass bowl makes a great dough bowl. It's easy to clean, allows you to see air bubbles forming as the dough rises, and is heavy enough that it stay on the counter as you pull the dough up (for stretch and folds when working with sourdough).. It holds enough dough for 2 to 3 standard sized loaves.
