By using a proofing basket, the piece proofing of the bread is beautifully even. In addition to the great pattern on the surface, this also results in a more attractive shape and an even and finely crumbled crust. The basket gives the dough its great shape during proofing, but it is removed before baking.

Proofing baskets - Application

First, of course, you need to prepare your dough. Make your favorite bread dough with yeast or sourdough and let it rise according to the recipe. Once the proofing is complete, you can prepare the proofing basket.

Remove any dirt residue from the basket, for example with a brush or simply by turning it over and tapping it on the mold. To prevent the bread dough from sticking to the basket, sprinkle it well with flour or baking starch. Baker's starch also has the advantage that the bread shines beautifully if you brush it with a little water before baking.

Depending on the quantity, portion out your dough and then form individual dough pieces. Once you are happy with the consistency and shape, place the bread in the proofing basket. Cover with a dough plastic and leave the dough to stand at room temperature for as long as specified in the recipe.

Now turn the bread out of the proofing basket. The dough can either be placed directly on baking paper or, if available, on a previously heated bread baking stone or in a cast iron pan that is also hot. The proofing basket must never be baked with the bread. Bake the bread according to the recipe.

The plastic proofing basket is a good alternative, as it is easier to clean and therefore much more hygienic. Simply put the basket in the dishwasher after use. This ensures that it is absolutely germ-free the next time you use it and produces perfect bread.
