Hi there, this might seem like a silly question but - Do the breads with the pretty ring designs get proofed in a banneton basket with or without a liner? I have never used one and have it on the wish list (ever growing) but was not sure if they were always used with liners or if the liner would obscure the ring pattern. I understand that you have to use a lot of flour to avoid sticking and I suppose they should be just tapped out rather than washed with water. Also, should people have two or more of them for a recipe? Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

B.
