Brotformen-cane-proofing-baskets-batard.png #4167 German BATARD Brotform -Proofing Basket -High Quality
$20.00
Hand-made in Germany, these baskets are a newly found treasure for us. They were made especially for FG pizza & Italian, and beaming with quality.

The baskets are very nice, white in color, sturdy and firm construction, and traditionally shaped.

The GREAT feature about these baskets are their shape! The are wider at the mouth, than they are at the bottom. This allows full development during rise, better adhesion of flour to dough, and these baskets make it much easier to pop the dough out of the form.

The measurements are: 13.5" long at open top -10.5” long on bottom, 6” wide at top - 2.5" wide at bottom, 3" high

These German-made, bread-proofing baskets are labeled many names: Benneton, brotform, brotformen, willow baskets, cane baskets and coil baskets to mention a few. What ever you want to call them, you can't beat the QUALITY or the PRICE that we are offering.

For those who have never used these, proofing your bread in these baskets allow one to retain a beautiful artisan flour design on your loaves when finished.

Dust the baskets with flour, (I use semolina) your bread proofs sitting inside these brotforms. When it's time to bake, invert the basket on your peel and transfer the bread, the dusting of flour is now left on the unbaked bread in a spiral design, typical of European bakers.

The final result is the mark of a true artisan baker.

wooden-pizza-peel-12-14.png #2071 Professional Wooden Peel - for Pizza and Bread 12"x14"x22"
$18.00
There is a difference in what one can buy from a kitchen-supply store, and these professional light-weight wooden pizza peels. Brands like Sassafras and other home-store labels, are not made to withstand use, or have the baker/pizzaiolo in mind.

A great tool should make the job easy and should allow one to perform their task without special attention or direction. Our professional wooden peels do just that.

They are sturdy, light-weight, and manufactured to perform perfectly. This size is GREAT for home-kitchen use for placing and retrieving bread and pizza to and from the oven.

For Pizza: Professionals choose to make pizzas on light-weight, wooden pizza peels, because of their porous surface. Pizzas slide off the surface quickly and easily. The light-weight/sturdy construction make it easy to lift with a fully-topped pizza. Try to use a heavy peel and the Pizziola’s arm will be like rubber bands at the end of the night.

For Bread Bakers: This is the perfect size for 1 or 2 small loaves. Not only the perfect tool, but a necessity for any baker's kitchen. Your loaves will slide off these peels with ease.

Our peels are made from durable, laminated SOLID wood, and weigh about 15-16 ounces. (1#)

The blade is 12" wide by 14” long with a 9” handle. From handle to end (scooping tip), the peel measures 22".

It's a perfect length, short-handled peel and it is tapered down to the front of the blade, which allows its user to scoop up pizzas, loaves of bread, etc.

These peels are the same as the above description, just a bigger blade.

FG-pizza-scale.png #4173 FG pizza’s Digital Scale
$44.99
Wow. Wow – wow –WOW!

Those of you who use bakers percentages, understand that you can duplicate any recipe in any amount… anytime! While figuring out percentages can sharpen your math skills… it is nice when a tool comes along that can assist you with formulas.

"Percentage Weighing" or proportional measuring makes for precise recipes and allows bakers to easily make larger or smaller batches of a given recipe. This has been a long-standing way for bakers to weigh their ingredients in proportion to their main ingredient (flour). This feature is the preferred method for bakers for the simple fact that it eliminates messy math that comes with weighing in teaspoons, cups, etc. - instead you deal with just percentage. Also, measuring this way allows for you to make as little or as much as you want easier.

It works like this: place a mixing bowl on the scale and tare it to zero. Add your flour and note that this is the 100% of the recipe (this is done by simply pressing the percentage key twice.)

next, empty your bowl, replace it on the scale and fill it with the next ingredient to the desired percentage you want.

THAT’S IT!

Just complete with the rest of the ingredients and you’re done. It’s as simple as that. This highly functional digital scale is a MUST-HAVE for any aspiring or professional baker!

The scale has a stainless-steel removable tray, and comes with a removable shield to protect the display and keys from any mess. Check out the video below!

Here are the specs

Color: Silver

Power: 3 AA batteries (included)

AC adapter: (available but not included. $5)

Thermometer.png #2130 Laser & Probe Gourmet Thermometer
$84.99
It’s important to know the temperature of ones oven… as well as a finished loaf of bread. This tool can help with both. At the risk of sounding like a salesman… It’s two tools in one!

There are lots of thermometers out there... but this one causes less clutter. Use the Laser to measure the temperature of your oven, then use the prob (conveniently positioned) to measure the temperature of your foods and bread!

Our laser - probe combo thermometer quickly and accurately measures surface temperatures and internal meat temperatures for perfect cooking results every time. Laser targeting feature pinpoints exact temperature without touching the surface of your oven, pan, BBQ or utensil - and the stainless steel probe is used to take internal temperatures. Also features a easy to read backlit LCD temperature readout.

dough_docker.jpg #4120 Dough Docker
$19.99
If one travels into their local pizza shops, they may here the sound of dough dockers coming from the kitchen. 75% of modern day pizzerias dock their dough before preparing. It’s great for that cracker-like crust, and tames excessive bubbles.

This professional dough docker allows the pizzaiolo to roll the tool over the prepared dough, and add just enough puncture holes so the pizza will not have those LARGE-unwanted bubbles that cause toppings to slide to one side of the pie.

It's easy to use. Just prepare a pizza "skin" and with mild pressure, roll the docker over the dough. ONE PASS only, one does not need to roll over a spot that has been docked already.

caputo_alone.JPG #4175 CAPUTO Flour - Tipo "00" 3 PACK
$11.99

You asked for it, and now we’ve got it. CAPUTO is the leader in Italian, “00” flour. It is considered “the” flour to use when making true Neapolitan Pizza and perfect for pizzas cooked in wood-burning ovens.

In their cookbook, San Francisco’s, A16, recommends CAPUTO flour for making their fresh pasta recipes. As "dry-pasta-fans," Natalia and I can personally attest that fresh pasta made with Caputo flour, is the best pasta that we have ever made... OR EATEN!! A video will soon follow.

From the Caputo website:

In Naples, in the south of Italy, a city tied to the tradition of millers, the original Neapolitan pizza was born in the 1600's. It was here that the Caputo family began making the flour for pizza in their mill.

Today they have developed the most modern techniques and have conserved the secrets of their traditions. This specialized pizza, in cooperation with "The Real Neapolitan Pizza Association" has satisfied even the most critical. A selection of the best Italian wheat is transformed into flour with the most advanced techniques, making it the perfect dough for this famous traditional pizza. The recent interest in high quality pizza in the United States has encouraged us to offer you our specialized pizza flour, which comes from the city of the best pizza in the world.

We are offering 3, 1kg packages for $11.99

wooden-bakers-peel.png #2077 Classic Wooden Baker's Peel - with detachable handle
$33.00
My uncle used one at Cardinale Bakery in Pittsburg, CA. His had a handle of 12-14 feet.

These peels are for the classic baker that enjoys a wooden feel, needs a long handle, and is tough on blades.

When the blade (peel head)gets old, or damaged, one purchases a new blade and attaches it to the old handle. Great idea.
