Brotformen24 question about flouring
Hello!
I love my brotformen! I am wondering something, though. I find that my dough releases easily from the form even when I do not flour it. Is there some other function of flouring the form as it relates to how the dough proofs overnight? The flour is a bit annoying for two reasons -- first, the flour gets a little "cakey" on the top of the loaf (happens with both rice and AP), and second, I have to brush the brotform to remove any excess flour (which I like to do, so it doesn't get rancid), which is time consuming when you are making large batches.
Any thoughts? Do you flour your brotformen?
Thanks!
