I have a bread basket like this one: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/item… I can rise bread in it but when i put it on a baking sheet to bake the bread falls and i end up with a smoshed loaf... how do I keep it rounded? I've tried letting it rise with the basket upside down on the sheet but when i pull it off the flattens...
--------------------
When using the brotform, (bread form) you need a stiff whole wheat or rye dough. Also, dough very easily de-gases or collapses after the second rise, so you must handle it very gently. Very gently, roll the dough from the basket onto the baking sheet. It should slip out gracefully, without deflating. if it deflates totally—a small settling is OK—simply form it into a smooth ball, put it back in the basket, and let it rise again (only this time not quite as high). As you experiment with your recipe, remember that the day's weather, quality of the yeast, type of flour, and quantity of whole grains used can greatly influence the final rise of your bread. Do not use the Brotform basket for baking the loaf. Use it only for the rising. Here's a recipe from King Arthur Flour http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/c… This site shows the baker putting the brotform directly onto the peel http://www.artisanbreadbaking.com/discus…
