Proofing basket plastic 35 x 13 cm

By using a proofing basket, the piece proofing of the bread becomes nice and even. In addition to the great pattern on the surface, this also leads to a nicer shape and an even and finely chopped crust. The basket gives the dough its great shape during the piece proofing, but it is removed before baking.

Proofing basket - 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 leavening is ready, you can prepare the proofing basket.

Remove any dirt residues 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 baker's starch. Baker's starch also has the advantage that the bread shines nicely if you coat it with a little water before baking.

Depending on the quantity portion your dough and then form individual dough pieces. Once you are satisfied with the consistency and shape, the bread is placed in the proofing basket. Cover with a dough plastic and let the dough stand at room temperature as long as indicated in the recipe.

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

The plastic proofing basket is a good proofing basket alternative because it is easier to clean and therefore much more hygienic. Simply put the basket in the dishwasher after use. So this is the next use absolutely germ-free and ensures perfect breads.
