Answers: How do I stop sourdough bread from sticking to the banneton basket?

• Sourdough bread baking
• Preventing sourdough sticking in bannetons
• Comparison of dusting flours for sourdough
• Using white bread flour for dusting
• Using wholemeal flour for dusting
• Using semolina for dusting
• Dough skin formation in sourdough
• Proofing sourdough in bannetons

Ingredients

• strong white bread flour
• wholemeal flour
• semolina

What it concludes

• None of the three flours stuck to the banneton baskets because of the skin formation on the outside of the dough.
• The choice of flour used to dust the banneton is secondary to developing the dough's outer skin during bulk fermentation.
• Using plastic bowls instead of breathable banneton baskets causes condensation that makes dough stick regardless of the dusting flour.
