A mixing bowl with a linen liner does most of what a proofing basket does. The liner keeps the dough from sticking and gives the crust a little texture. So if the bowl’s already in the cupboard, you need three things, and none of them is bulky.
The lame scores the loaf. The scraper cleans the bench and portions the dough. The liner turns your bowl into a basket.
What arrives
- Scoring lame
- Bench scraper

Everything here lies flat. It goes in the envelope with your starter, no box needed.
