When it comes to baking artisanal-quality breads, the right tools are as important as the best ingredients. This set brings together four traditional European-style essentials, perfected over generations and still favored by home bakers and professionals alike. Crafted of natural cane, the Brotform proofing basket allows dough to rise into a uniform round while drawing out moisture and creating appealing spiral indentations. The flat, rigid whisk lets you blend dough without overmixing, while the French-style lame scores the dough's surface so that moisture and gases can escape and the loaf can expand without cracking. Emile Henry's covered pan creates optimal baking conditions, thanks to Burgundian clay that absorbs, distributes and retains heat evenly, and a pierced, domed lid that retains the right amount of moisture while allowing the bread to rise to its full height and bake to perfection.
