A Great Source for Bannetons
Aug 06, 2009 | From the kitchen of Rose
My wonderful friend David Shamah, who over the years has introduced me to all sorts of culinary treasures, has unearthed this terrific source for an often hard to find item for bread baking.
Bannetons, also called wicker baskets, are used for shaping bread dough while they are rising to give them extra support. I prefer the ones lined with coarse woven cloth.

Hello Rose,
Speaking of equipment, I have your book The Cake Bible, and in it you note a tool called angel food cake folder/old time wire kitchen beater. I checked with Vermont Country Store and they don't have it. Would you know of any other sources, or am I just looking for a Unicorn??
Thanks a lot,
John
