Having half-baked thoughts  on getting a proofing basket for your baking stash? While proofing on a tin pan should work just fine, you may to invest in a proofing basket if it’s perfectly-coiled, freshly baked buns you’re after.

Loaf it or hate it, when used correctly, both baking tools can make your baking adventure a success.                         

                                                                    

Baking Tin Pan

A tried and tested tool every baker should have in their stash, baking tin pans come in an array of sizes and materials. Choose from oven-safe glass, stoneware, pottery, and your good-old aluminum pan.

Baking pans are versatile kitchen tools that can be used to hold batter and to serve savory hot dishes. These tin pans can also be used during baking preps and for proofing bread.

Baking pans give your bread a square or rectangular shape.

The baking pan is perfect for those who enjoy square loaves. Most beginners prefer using a baking pan as it requires less preps and is foolproof. Just remember to grease your pan to keep your dough from sticking.

Baking pans give you a better view of the proofing process.   

The baking pan has a defined shape making it easy to see if your dough is done proofing. 

Proofing Basket

Proofing basket gives your dough a perfectly-rounded shape.

With a coiled structure creating rustic rings on your dough, the proofing basket can also be covered with linen for a smooth crust. The proofing basket’s shape also keeps the core of the bread evenly-baked.                             

Proofing basket absorbs excess moisture.

Experienced bakers can agree that the secret to baking soft, pillowy bread is precision. Anything in excess can literally make or break your bread.   

Made from 100% natural rattan that is odor-resistant and is food-safe, the Superbaking proofing basket absorbs excess moisture during proofing making your dough less sticky and easier to score, giving your bread an even split during baking.
