This traditional proofing woven bowl is a must-have for any avid bread baker. Used for centuries in Europe, the Brotform helps loaves hold their shape as they rise and also promotes a crispy, ribbed crust and improved texture. The bowl is hand-shaped from natural cane and its 10-inch size can accommodate up to a 2 lb loaf. It can be used without a liner for a more textured crust, but needs to be well-dusted with flour to prevent any sticking. The stunning natural look of this bowl also makes it wonderful for serving rolls and bread slices after your baking is done. Cotton liner sold separately.
