Proofing basket cover large

Proofing basket cover large

The large proofing basket cover prevents sticking in the proofing basket and protects the surface - ideal for soft doughs such as sourdough. It can be stretched over round baskets with a diameter of up to 35 cm or over long baskets measuring approx. 38 x 13 cm. If you want to place it in the proofing basket as protection, choose a slightly smaller one; it fits in round proofing baskets up to 25 cm in diameter. What is it suitable for? For even piece proofing without sticking and for covering so that no skin forms. How is it used? Prepare your dough and finish proofing. For soft doughs, stretch the proofing basket cover over the clean, empty basket and press the center down slightly. Dust the basket generously with flour or baker's starch, with or without the cover; baker's starch makes the bread shiny if you brush it with a little water before baking. Shape the dough and place it in the basket; you can cover sourdough with dough plastic or a second cover. If you stretch a cover over the proofing basket, no skin will form and the dough will remain supple on the outside. After the proofing time, remove the cover and turn the dough out onto baking paper, a preheated bread baking stone or into a hot cast iron pan. Normally, washing is not necessary after each use; if necessary, clean the proofing basket cover thoroughly by hand or at 30 °C in the machine without detergent. Excessively high temperatures make the rubber brittle and cause it to wear out.
