Bread Baking

Before baking homemade bread and others, exercise an old-fashioned but effective method of successfully raising handmade dough with the Round Brotform 8” Proofing Basket by Frieling. The round basket consists of light all-natural cane. The final results speak volumes: an improved texture, a better rise, a uniform shape, and crunchy crust. Each loaf rises to 8”; though, the size may vary. Simply allow your bread machine to knead the dough first, place it inside the basket, and then flip it upside down. After you’re done, gently wash the bread rising basket by hand with warm water. Enjoy the fresh, all-natural flavor and aroma of artisan bread prepared with dough risen from within the Frieling Round Brotform 8” Proofing Basket.

Bread dough needs to be babied, and these traditional natural cane rising molds—which come in small and large rounds, rectangular loaves, and baguette form—will help you raise baby the right way. Simply flour the insides of the baskets and plop in your kneaded dough for its final rise. The forms will give your bread a better rise and uniform shapes, which translates to crunchier crusts and better texture after baking. These quirky little guys can also function off-bread-raising-duty as (cooked) bread or chip baskets for the table.

Measures 12" x 5"

Cane is a natural material and some color variance is expected. Each Brotform is unique!
