Frieling Brotform Bread Proofing Basket

Yes, the Frieling Brotform includes a cotton liner. This helps prevent dough from sticking to the cane and makes it easier to keep the basket clean.

Simply brush out any excess flour once the basket is dry. If dough residue remains, let it harden and then brush it off; the basket should be hand-washed only and dried thoroughly before storage.

No, this is a proofing basket designed solely for the rising stage. You must turn the dough out onto a baking sheet or preheated baking stone before placing it in the oven.

This size is ideal for standard artisanal loaves weighing between 1.5 and 2 pounds. It works well for sourdough, rye, and other hearth-style breads.

Before placing your dough in the basket, generously dust the interior with flour—rice flour is particularly effective because it doesn't absorb moisture as quickly as wheat flour. Using the included cotton liner also provides a non-stick barrier.
