Description
- Used with dough to absorb moisture from surface and make a crunchy crust, this baker's couche linen made in France is the fabric of choice for use with dough; the couche's natural fibers absorb moisture; baker's couche will give your baguettes a chewy, crunchy crust
- Can also be used to cover a proofing pan and works as a banneton liner
- For optimal performance of your baker's couche linen, rub rye flour on the couche prior to using
- Place the shaped baguettes in the folds of the floured couche cloth; after the baguettes rise, roll onto baking oven peel and slide onto hot baking stone in oven
- When done, brush flour off the couche; if dough sticks to cloth, allow to dry, then scrape off; do not wash your couche linen; the purpose of the couche is to absorb yeast and flour on the surface of your bread to give it the unique crust that baguettes are famous for; if you must wash the couche, use cold water, hang to air dry; store in cool dry place rolled or folded
