FAQ

Do I bake the bread in my basket: You do not bake your bread in the basket. You put your bread in upside down into the basket to rise and then you turn it over, depositing the bread gently on to a baking sheet that you have lined with non stick parchment or coarse polenta or semolina so it won't stick.
To make a bread basket, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the top of a loaf of French bread. Hollow out the loaf, leaving a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) shell. Reserve bread pieces for another use. Whisk together 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) balsamic vinegar; brush over inside of loaf.
Only for proofing, never for baking!. A proofing basket, the name says it all, is only meant to let the dough proof, so it is not a replacement for a baking tin and can never go into the oven. We do not wash our baskets, we shake off excess flour after each use and let them dry in a warm and moisture-free place.
Bottom line: If you're doing more than an occasional amount of bread baking, it's worth having a proper proofing basket in your kitchen. When used without a liner, coiled baskets leave a pretty ringed pattern on your baked loaf.
You can keep your fresh loaf in a bread box for a few days. With its dark and dry interior, a bread box helps maintain a decent balance of moisture to keep the inside of the bread soft and its exterior crusty. Make sure there is plenty of room inside for good air circulation.
