Know before you buy
No, these baskets are strictly for proofing and shaping your dough. You must transfer the dough to an oven-safe pan or baking stone once it has finished rising.
The cotton liners are removable and can be washed as needed. The cane baskets themselves should not be submerged in water; simply brush out any excess flour after each use and allow them to air dry completely to prevent moisture buildup.
The liners are optional. Using them provides a smoother surface and makes cleanup easier, while proofing directly against the cane will create the signature ribbed pattern on your crust.
Brotforms are made from natural cane, which allows the dough to breathe and wicks away excess moisture during the proofing process. This creates a superior rise and a crispier, more professional-looking crust compared to a standard bowl.
Before placing your dough in the basket, dust the inside thoroughly with flour—rice flour works particularly well because it does not absorb moisture as quickly as wheat flour. If you are using the cotton liners, ensure they are also lightly floured.
