Bread has an infinite variety.

First rule of bread: bake what you like to eat and eat what you like to bake.

Second rule of bread: everything is well toasted even if it is ugly.

The test basket has been used for centuries. This is simply because we could weave, shape things with reeds and herbs, mold clay and turn wood long before we could forge metal and shape bread molds.
Q1: How do I use a test basket?

Answer: When you get a new banneton, it needs a little conditioning to get the best out of it. They need a build-up of a thin layer of flour in the nooks and crannies, and this helps the dough to leave the banneton easily before baking.
Q2: Can I bake in a banneton?

Answer: No. The bannetons are just for demonstration, don't bake in the bannetons
Q3: Do I cover my banneton during testing?

Answer: While the banneton holds most of the dough, the top is exposed, so you should protect it from drying out. A dusting of flour and a light cotton or soft linen will also serve for the job and a buildup of flour is also good on your fabric.
Q4: How do I clean my test basket?

Answer: To clean the baskets, rub them with a brush and warm soapy water. Once scrubbed, rinsed and dried thoroughly, season your basket again with the corn starch paste and water and let it dry and go.

Q5:How to maintain my banneton?

Answer: Traditionally bannetons are left outside in the sun to dry between uses. We are not always so lucky here, but if you have the opportunity, it is a good way to do it, otherwise leave it in a warm, dry place. Brush with a dedicated bristle brush and store in a light, well-ventilated place.
