Plan the next step
Measure
Use your kitchen scale to weigh flour and dough. A dough thermometer helps when your recipe calls for a target temperature.
Scales and temperature tools →
Mix and bulk ferment
Use a covered mixing bowl with room for the whole batch to rise. A clear container with markings makes the rise easier to see.
Bowls and bulk containers →
Divide and shape
Use a clean work surface or board. A bench scraper helps divide or lift sticky dough; it is optional.
Work surfaces and scrapers →
Final proof
A flour-dusted towel in a suitably shaped bowl can replace a basket. Match the loaf, basket and baking vessel.
Baskets and lined-bowl alternatives →
Score and load
A sharp kitchen knife may be all you need for scoring. If you use a sling or peel, check its temperature limit and practice moving the loaf before preheating.
Scoring and transfer methods →
Bake
Keep your existing pot or pan if the loaf fits, it is rated for your baking temperature and you can handle its hot lid and base. Measure it against the space in your oven.
Dutch ovens, cloches and pans →
Cool and store
Cool the loaf on a rack you own and slice with a serrated knife. Choose a bag, bread box or freezer portions to suit when you plan to eat it.
