Heavy-Duty Dough Proofing Cloth

Mrs. Anderson's Dough Proofing Cloth supports, forms, and proofs bread dough for making long loaves of bread, breadsticks, and up to 6-7 baguettes at once. It absorbs excess moisture from the dough without drying it out for the best chewy, crusty bread results. The thick, stiff cloth creates and holds wavy creases that force rising dough upwards and to maintain shaped loaves while they proof. It releases easily without it warping or sticking to the cloth. Flour the cloth lightly and evenly. Too much flour will spoil the texture and appearance of bread crust. Fold the cloth into a series of wavy creases to cradle dough while it proofs. Shape dough and transfer it into the folds, cover it, and allow it to rise.
