What customers say
Home bread bakers highly value this cotton liner, especially for sticky, high-hydration doughs like sourdough. Its primary benefit is superior ease of release, eliminating dough sticking to standard 8.5-inch brotforms and ensuring beautifully shaped loaves. Users consistently praise the durable, thick cotton quality that withstands repeated washing. The liner reliably maintains dough shape while wicking moisture for a better crust. While it requires washing after use, experienced bakers find this minor maintenance a worthwhile trade-off for the consistent, nonstick performance and simplified cleanup it offers, making it a quality investment for artisan bread making.
Know before you buy
The cotton liner prevents the dough from sticking to the natural cane ridges, ensuring a smooth surface on your finished loaf. It also makes cleanup easier, as you can simply remove and wash the liner rather than scrubbing the cane basket.
Yes, using the liner creates a smooth, clean crust without the traditional spiral flour rings associated with bare cane baskets. If you prefer the classic decorative ridges, you can use the basket without the liner.
Shake out any excess flour after the dough is removed. If the liner becomes soiled, hand wash it in cool water and allow it to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold.
This liner is specifically designed for 10-inch round brotform baskets. It is best to use it with the corresponding size to ensure the fabric sits snugly against the walls of the cane mold.
Yes, it is recommended to lightly dust the liner with flour—preferably rice flour—before placing your shaped dough inside. This extra layer of protection ensures the dough releases cleanly after the proofing process.
