Basic Ingredients Couche Bakers Cloth

Couche Bakers Cloth is a thick canvas that is used to retain the shape of proofing doughs.

Baguette-making is a true passion of baking, so to help you with your passion we have searched long and hard to find just the right kind of canvas, tried it and we were very impressed with the end result of the Basic Ingredients Couche Bakers Cloth.

Our in house bakers have tried and tested the Couch Bakers Cloth with such great results that we are now suppling this same Couche Bakers Cloth to big and small bakeries all over Australia.

Our Couche Bakers Cloth helps you to maintain the shape of your baguettes and batons whilst proofing.

Simply dust your Couche Bakers Cloth heavily with rye, rice or wheat flour and form ridges or gullies in the cloth (one for each loaf / baguette). Place the shaped baguettes into the fold of your Couche Bakers Cloth and leave to prove.

Once proving is complete carefully remove with a baguette flipping board or peel (a shovel like tool used by bakers) and then slide onto a hot baking stone and put straight into the oven.

Using a cloth is (part of) the traditional French way, to produce that magic crispy bread.

When you break a REAL Baguette, you should hear it go CRACK!

The Couches are available in sizes large and small, but can also be made to any size you require. Simply call or email us for a quote.
