Using your Eddington's 8-inch Round Banneton Baking Basket is a breeze. First, dust the basket with flour. Then, place your shaped dough into the basket, seam side up. Let the dough rise in the basket until it doubles in size. When it's time to bake, carefully invert the dough onto a baking sheet. To ensure the best results, try not to overfill the basket. After each use, gently shake out any excess flour. You can also use a soft brush to clean the basket. Keep it in a dry place to prevent mold growth. With proper care, your banneton basket will serve you well for many baking sessions.
