THE COMPLETE KIT: This bundle includes a proofing basket, a complete starter jar kit, and a silicone bread sling, providing all the necessary tools for the entire process, from starter cultivation to baking. FERMENTATION CONTROL: The 34oz glass jar comes with a spatula for thorough mixing, plus a thermometer sticker and feeding tracker band. Together, these tools allow for precise monitoring of your starter's temperature and feeding schedule. ACHIEVE CONSISTENT LOAF FORMATION: The natural rattan basket wicks moisture and provides uniform support during proofing. This promotes an even rise and helps create the classic spiral crust found on artisan bread. PROTECT YOUR HANDS FROM BURNS: The silicone sling’s long handles keep your hands away from the hot sides of your Dutch oven. This feature provides a safer method for handling dough, reducing the risk of contact burns. ESSENTIAL FINISHING TOOLS: The proofing basket set is equipped with a bread lame, dough whisk, and scrapers. These accessories provide you with the necessary tools for professional-level dough handling and scoring.
