Heart 1 kg

This basket will take about 1 kilo of dough (allowing for expansion during proof) and will leave a heart-shaped design on the top of the loaf when it is turned out for baking. To emphasize the heart shape, fill it carefully with a layer of seeds (sesame, poppy or linseed are good), flakes or a contrasting colour of flour or bran. Then place your dough carefully into the basket to preserve the heart shaped design.

Please note: these baskets are not an alternative to a baking tin.
