Städter Proofing basket baguette, 36 cm

If you want to become a baker yourself, you need not only the perfect recipe but also the right baking tools. One of these tools is this proofing basket. The user-friendly and durable baskets are made from a breathable and natural raw material, Peddigree cane. Peddigree is made from the trunk of rattan palms, making it biodegradable. The proofing basket helps maintain a stable shape of the bread and decorates the surface of the bread with the basket's texture, which contributes to the definition of the bread's final appearance. With such a beautifully shaped and defined loaf, the eye certainly eats along.

Using the proofing basket is that simple:

• Remove any dirt from the basket.
• Dust the inside with flour or baker's starch.
• Place the prepared dough into the basket, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise.
• After fermentation, turn the dough out onto a baking sheet and bake the bread according to the provided instructions.

These are all the steps you need to follow. If you wish, you can add seeds or grains after dusting the basket with flour to give your bread an extra flavor note. When caring for the proofing basket, it is important to let the basket dry completely after use. The residual heat from the oven is suitable for this, but the temperature should not exceed 140 °C! Once the basket is completely dry, you can tap out the excess flour and store the basket away. The basket is not dishwasher safe! Depending on how often you use it, you should sterilize the basket in the oven at 120-140 °C for about 30-40 minutes every 4-8 weeks.

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