Linen cloth 65 x 230 cm

Proofing baskets are ideal for proofing larger loaves of bread, but if you are making small rolls or bread that should not have the typical pattern, a linen cloth is the best choice. The cloth, also known as baker's linen, is breathable and retains its shape, so the rolls or baguettes proof evenly without sticking to each other or to the cloth. As linen has an antibacterial effect, it can be shaken out well afterwards and only washed from time to time.

Linen cloth - Application

To make delicious rolls and baguettes, you first need to make the dough. Prepare it according to the recipe and leave it to proof in a lightly oiled bowl. After the time specified in the recipe, place the dough on a floured work surface, divide it into smaller pieces if necessary and shape it.

Prepare the linen cloth depending on the shape of the bread. For baguettes or small rolls, you can lay the cloth flat and place the first rolls or a baguette dough piece on it. Now form a fold next to the dough pieces and place the next rolls on the other side of the fold. In this way, all the formed baguettes, rolls and loaves can be separated with the folds and left to rest next to each other to proof.

For particularly soft doughs, flour the cloth a little beforehand. Once the dough pieces have finished proofing, they are placed on a baking tray or in a suitable mold. The cloth can simply be shaken out a little; if some dough sticks to it, the linen cloth can also be washed without any problems.

The professional baker's linen cloth has an antibacterial effect, is breathable, absorbs excess moisture well and then dries again quickly. The linen cloth is natural and free from chemical treatments, bleaching and dyeing. The dark dots confirm the naturalness of the cloth. The dark spots are cotton seeds, which are not harmful. The dark spots fade with repeated use and cleaning. Linen is also a very robust material, so you can proof countless delicious loaves, rolls and baguettes in it.
