Frieling Brotform Bread Proofing Bowl

This bowl is specifically designed for a 1 lb. loaf of bread. It measures 8.5 inches in width, making it ideal for standard artisanal recipes.

Because it is made of natural cane, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply brush out any excess flour after use and let it air dry completely before storing to prevent mold.

While you can use it as-is, it is standard practice to generously dust the bowl with flour—preferably rice flour—to prevent the dough from sticking to the cane ridges. If you are a beginner, you may also choose to line it with a thin linen cloth.

No, this is strictly a proofing vessel. It is designed to help the dough rise and create a ribbed pattern, but it cannot withstand the heat of an oven. You must transfer the dough to a baking sheet or Dutch oven once the proofing is complete.

Yes, its rustic aesthetic makes it a perfect serving basket. Once your loaf is baked and cooled, you can use the bowl to present the bread on your dining table.
