Description
Bakers linen is used for bread proving. Its also known as a bakers couche. The heavy material supports your dough while it proves, helping to maintain its shape.
Fold the linen into sections to prove multiple loaves at a time. It prevents them from spreading and sticking together. Linen absorbs some moisture from the doughs surface without drying it out. This is the secret to bread with a crisp, golden crust.
Linen is resistant to fraying and pilling. It becomes more non-stick over time, making it ideal for cooks who bake often. Its a great way to prove baguettes and ficelles.
How to care for bakers linen:
- Flour lightly and evenly before use
- Create folds to support your dough while it proves
- After use, brush off excess flour and leave to air dry
- Never wash bakers linen. If dough sticks, let it dry and scrape off carefully
- If you must wash it, do so in cold water only
This bakers linen is produced by Charvet ditions, a French textile company and is untreated and food safe.
