No – this is a wooden proofing basket. Prove in the basket, then tip onto a peel or tin to bake.
What dough weight fits best?
About 250g dough as a guide. Higher hydrations fill the basket more; slightly lower hydrations sit a little lower. If in doubt, size up.
How do I prevent sticking?
Dust the basket and dough lightly – rice flour resists absorption and releases well. The fitted linen gives a smoother finish and helps release.
How do I clean and store it?
Let the basket dry, then tap or brush out flour. Avoid water where possible. Store dry and away from direct heat.
