Why are flour sack towels good for baking?
Flour sack towels for baking are ideal because they're made from breathable 100% cotton that allows proper air circulation while protecting dough. They're lint-free (no fibers in your bread), absorbent for handling moisture, and durable enough for professional bakery use. The flat weave prevents dough from sticking.
How do you use flour sack towels for bread proofing?
Lightly flour your flour sack towel and drape it over shaped dough or cover the proofing bowl. The towel prevents the dough from drying out while allowing gases to escape. For banneton proofing baskets, line with a floured towel to prevent sticking and create artisan patterns.
Should I use white or natural flour sack towels for baking?
Both work great for baking! Natural unbleached towels are preferred by artisan bakers for their authentic look and chemical-free processing. White towels are easier to bleach/sanitize between uses, making them popular in commercial bakeries. Natural towels are slightly larger (29x29" vs 27x27").
Can flour sack towels be used for cheese making?
Yes! Flour sack towels are excellent for cheese making. The tight weave catches even small curds while allowing whey to drain. They're also used to wrap aging cheeses. Many cheese makers prefer them over commercial cheesecloth for their durability and reusability.
How many flour sack towels does a bakery need?
A home baker typically needs 6-12 flour sack towels for baking. Small bakeries should stock 24-50, while larger commercial operations may need 100+. We recommend having enough for active use plus laundry rotation. Bulk pricing starts at 25 units.
