Baker's Linen

What is baker’s linen?

Baker's linen is a strong linen cloth that is used for proofing baguettes and rolls. Due to the high weave density of the baker's linen, it can be folded in pleats to give your formed dough pieces stability during proofing. Wrapped in the baker's linen, the dough is protected from drafts and from drying out.
