Banneton cloth or no cloth and...
I just scored a huge willow banneton from the local Goodwill. $2.00 and in great condition so I just had to rescue it. Inside dimensions are 12 3/4" diameter and 5 1/2" deep. Any ideas on how much dough to put in by weight for a banneton this size? I would also like to hear opinions on whether you use them with or without cloth. FYI I'm just a home cook who is a few months away from finishing a backyard wood fired oven. I do have another banneton that is much smaller but this huge one would be fun for family gatherings or to just cut in half or quartered to share with friends.
