The liner is optional but highly recommended if you are new to using bannetons or if your dough has high hydration, as it prevents sticking.
No, this basket is strictly for the proofing stage and should not be placed inside the oven.
Rice flour is the industry standard for dusting proofing baskets because it is gluten-free and does not become gummy when it absorbs moisture from the dough.
Allow the dough to dry completely, then use a clean, stiff brush to scrub the particles out of the coils.
Because these are handmade, please expect minor variations in the weave, weight, and dimensions of each basket.
Ensure you are using enough flour, preferably rice flour, or consistently use the provided cloth liner.
Dry the basket in a warm, ventilated area or in the residual heat of a turned-off oven after baking.
Hand wash the liner in mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry completely.
Before the first use, lightly dust the basket with flour to prepare the surface. When using the included cloth liner, ensure it is seated firmly against the walls of the basket to avoid wrinkles in your crust.
