Recipe dough weight: 1-1.5 lbs or 450-680 grams
Recipe flour volume: 2-3 cups
Keep in mind that whether the dough is made of refined flour or whole grain flour will impact how much it expands in the basket, and if you’ve arrived at the dough weight with additions like nuts and raisins or actual dough — so the ranges above are approximations.

How to Use: Dust the proofing basket with flour and the risen dough drops easily onto your baking surface. For proofing very wet doughs, as called for with the popular no knead bread recipes, for example, the optional cloth liner is the simplest solution. Working flour (rice flour is particularly effective) into the cloth liner will release wet dough.
Care Instructions: Cleaning the proofing basket is usually just a matter of tapping it on the edge of your kitchen sink. If necessary, rinse it out with hot water with your faucet in spray mode. Shake off excess water and place upside down over still warm oven to dry quickly. Don’t use soap.

Nice basket, very convenient size. I use this to make a smaller loaf in my 3.5 qt. dutch oven, at the same time as a larger loaf in a second baker.

I have two with the liners. As a previous reviewer wrote, I too like to make two loaves at a time–one to keep, one to give. I proof 600 grams of dough in each basket. They hold this amount fine. The smaller loaf size means less baking time, which is good if, like me, you live in a hot desert.
Also, Breadtopia gives me quick and friendly service.

So happy we found Breadtopia as a source for our first sourdough making supplies. The baskets are nice quality and prices are very reasonable plus it’s nice to have quick responses to email questions from the store. When the larger baskets are in stock we will be ordering more from here.

I love these smaller baskets. I make two small loaves at once in the clay baker. One for me, one for a gift. The perfect size loaf for one person!
