Baking Tools: Most of the tools you need to make bread are basic kitchen tools like measuring cups & spoons, spatula, pan, bowl etc... The only item that you might find hard to get is a baker's couche which you can order here. |

Baker's couche is a canvas cloth made from untreated natural fiber used to proof (ferment) the dough. The rough surface absorbs the extra moisture in the dough giving the bread a thick crispy crust which is a characteristic of French bread. It is also sturdy enough to hold a round shape to create a dividing wall between the loafs so that they don't stick to each other. You will still get acceptable results without it but if you want to perfect your bread like the French do and get a nice thick crust, you can buy it here, it comes in natural cotton & 2 sizes. |

Baskets: Baskets are also used with the couche to proof round and oval loafs to help keep the round shape of the loaves. Baskets are easy to find but you can also use bowls instead if you don't have a basket or simply proof on a flat surface and fold the couche around the loaf. |

New baking tool on the market: In my DVDs I always transfer the dough to the baking stone using parchment paper which makes the dough slide easily into the oven stone. I also give the option of dusting the pan or pizza peel with semolina flour to make the dough slide instead of using parchment paper but this method can be a bit messy. Well with this new gadget "Super Peel" you will not need to use either methods. The Peel provides a large dough carrying surface; and dough does not stick to the lightly floured Pastry Cloth which wraps around the Peel creating a small hand-held conveyor belt, which has amazing dough transfering and handling properties. Artisan bread bakers load their ovens with conveyor loaders. The Super Peel brings this professional dough handling care, precision, and ease to the home kitchen. |
