Recently started making sourdough bread again. Find it easier to do a couple of loaves at a time and already had a round proving basket. Proving basket is easy to prepare for use and to clean after use. Certainly gives your bake a more authentic, professional appearance.
This is a perfectly good basket, the dough won't stick if you line the basket with a clean linen tea towel- the type you dry glasses with. Place tea towel in the basket, opened out, not folded, edges hanging over the edge. Thoroughly flour the tea teatowel, I use rye for colour and flavour, then place your shaped loaf in the basket, upside down with the eventual top of the loaf to the bottom of the basket and the seam uppermost. Prove your loaf, then roll out the bread onto a heated baking tray,the top of the loaf is now uppermost, score the top with a lame and bake immediately. Simples!
Bought 2 and was a bit worried about the reviews. But if you use a different flour like rice flour there is no problem. I have baked with them 6 times since buying last week and not 1 has got stuck.
The first time I used this basket it was wonderful. But since then the bread dough is sticking to the basket. By the time I’ve prised the dough out the air has dissipated. I’ve tried several times in case the dough was at fault but it’s definitely the basket.So disappointing after all the work. Will be returning this product to the store.
We’re very sorry to hear it didn't meet your expectations. You can return it to store with proof of pucrhase for a full refund Another reviewer has said to dust with a low gluten or gluten free flour- semolina, corn or maize flour (not cornflour) or rice flour.
Wish I'd read the other reviews before buying this! I oiled the basket as thought it would tighten while baking for the first time but even this didnt help. My bread was well and truly stuck Very disappointing It took me ages to prise the bread out and lost half of it as it was so stuck Ended up tossing the basket straight in the bin Total waste of money don't buy!
We’re very sorry to hear this and have sorted a refund for you. Below are some tips from previous reviews : The dough comes out easily with these baskets, as long as you copiously flour using a pastry brush and getting it in all the grooves. Also make sure to put a good amount of flour in the basket before the dough otherwise it gets stuck. Season the basket first with cornflour and water paste and then the dough releases easily from the basket whilst still leaving lovely circular indentations. Remember to also flour before you place your dough in basket to prove. So long as it's well floured the dough won't stick unless you over-prove it, and loaves come out well shaped and attractively patterned. I did wash basket out and then sprayed with olive oil and floured it for a few days prior to use then on day of baking sprayed again and floured perfect
