Rectangular Proofing Basket 5-1/8" x 13-3/4" Orange Polypropylene

Product Review

The proofing basket is used by bread bakers to maintain dough shape during proofing This durable proofing bread basket is PP, hygienic, food safe, and easy to clean because there are no seams or splits in the basket The basket features a rippled pattern which in turn causes an imprint on the dough that is traditional for baked bread and increases surface area for crusting. The proofing basket is dishwasher proof and stackable Not for baking
