Brotforms
Generally
called a brotform, brotformen or banneton, these
bread molds are used for the rising of the dough (also called proofing).
 The
basket coils and flour dusting provide a beautiful shape and decor for
a traditional hearth loaf.
• Wood baskets are made by hand. They have imperfections that
are normal in a natural, unfinished wood product, and which enhance the
look of your finished loaf.
• Poly baskets have uniform designs and can be cleaned
in a dishwasher.
Tips:
· Weigh flour:
8-12 oz to yield about a Lb,
16-20 oz for 2 Lbs,
28-32 for 3-4 Lb.
· Knead the dough by hand,
or with a bread machine, or mixer.
· For better texture and
crust, many bakers let the dough rise in a greased bowl first, and then
transfer it into the Brotform for the second and final rise.
· As you experiment with
your recipe, remember that the day's weather, quality of the yeast, type of
flour, and quantity of whole grains used can greatly influence the final
rise of your bread.
· Do not use the Brotform
basket for baking the loaf. Use it only for the rising. |

~ Use & Care of Cane Brotform Baskets ~
Initial Treatment:
- Spray the inside of the baskets lightly with Baker's Joy,
or a similar grease dust.
To Use:
- Flour the brotform and place the kneaded dough in the
basket to rise.
- Once it has sufficiently risen, unmold the loaf and transfer it onto a
baking sheet for the oven.
Cleaning:
- Shake and brush out excess flour after every use.
- Let baskets air-dry thoroughly before stacking or storing them.
- A few times each year, when used on a regular basis, place in the oven at
250°F together with a bowl of water, for about 20 minutes.
- Let baskets air-dry thoroughly before stacking or storing them.
- Wash basket with a brush and hot water every six months or so.
- After such washings, let it air-dry before storing, and spray with Baker's
Joy before using.
