Städter Proofing basket baguette, 36 cm

If you want to become a baker yourself, then you need not only the perfect recipe but also the appropriate baking utensils. One of these utensils is this proofing basket. The easy-to-use and durable baskets are made from a breathable and natural raw material, peddigree cane. Peddigree is made from the trunk of rattan palms and is therefore biodegradable. The proofing basket ensures a stable shape of the bread and decorates the surface of the bread with the structure of the basket, which leads to the definition of the later appearance of the bread. With such a beautifully shaped and defined bread, the eye eats with it under all circumstances.

And this is how easy it is to use the proofing basket:

• Remove any dirt from the basket.
• Dust the inside with flour or baker's starch.
• Place the prepared dough in the basket, cover the pan with a damp cloth, and let it proof.
• After fermentation, turn the dough out onto a tray and bake the bread according to the given instructions.

These are all the steps you need to follow. If you wish, after dusting the basket with flour, you can still add seeds or kernels to give your bread another flavorful touch. When caring for the proofing basket, it is important to note that you allow the basket to dry out completely after use. The residual heat of the oven, for example, is suitable for this, although the temperature must not be higher than 140°C! After the basket has dried completely, you can tap the excess flour out of the mold and put the basket away again. The basket is not dishwasher proof! Depending on how often you use it, you should sterilize the mold every 4-8 weeks in the oven at 120-140°C for about 30-40 minutes.

Important note: Not suitable as a baking shape for bread! The proofing basket is also perfect for making breads as gifts because homemade bread tastes best!.
