Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Frieling 8-inch Round Brotform

Customer Review: Traditional tool now available in the US
Summary: 4 Stars

The bread basket was a traditional European tool used to form breadloaves. Often, a design is impressed into the bottom of the form, to identify the loaves that go into a community oven. (Or the housewife would inscribe a family symbol with a few slashes, before taking it to the village baker's oven.)

To use this form, you flour it, then dump your dough in for the last rising. Then turn it out upside down on a baking sheet strewn with coarse pumpernickel meal or cornmeal, slash your loaf if desired with a bread razor and bake. You can glaze the top with egg white and water and sprinkle with seeds. Brushing with cold coffee will give you a dark crust. The form is especially useful for sticky sourdough rye breads,which are hard to hand form.

In Europe, the natural cane has been replaced by plastic forms in commercial bakeries, as natural cane is hard to sanitize. And here is the reason I give 4 and not 5 stars to this product. While absolutely traditional, it is a bit hard to clean. As you probably know, wetting an item that has been floured makes for a sticky mess, and wood or cane is porous and a bit hard to clean.

Nonetheless, this is a welcome tool to have if you make your own Tuscan style Italian loaves, German Rye or other hearty, round loaves of homemade bread. If you own a breadmaker, you can always mix your dough in it on the dough cycle, and take it out without doing the baking cycle. This way, you can get excellent kneading and rising of difficult doughs like rye and 100 percent whole wheat, and still have the traditional and attractive round loaf rather than the squarish form from the breadmaker.

Description of Frieling 8-inch Round Brotform

Note: this product was made in China.
This traditional bread rising basket lets you bring a taste of Europe into your kitchen. Just dust the 8-inch round basket with flour, put your kneaded dough in, and watch it rise. The natural cane coils shape and decorate the loaf the old-fashioned way. When it's done rising, remove it from the basket and pop it in the oven. The final result? A country bread with a great texture and crunchy crust. To remove any remaining flour, simply tap the basket on the counter. The only other maintenance is an occasional hand washing in warm water. This sturdy basket is even attractive enough to double as a serving piece for outdoor meals and entertaining. --Irene Svete
