For generations, bakers and farmers have used linen cloths for baking and keeping baked goods fresh. Baking bread used to be a weekly fixture, when bread was baked for everyone living on the farm. Huge quantities of dough were mixed, left to rest, shaped, and baked. A linen cloth was essential in bread making.
To keep the precious food fresh for as long as possible, a bread cloth was used. The baked and cooled loaves were wrapped in cloth and carefully stored for slow consumption.
Even today, bread is still made this way on farms. The only thing that has changed is the number of people living on the farm, the regularity of baking, and the variety of different types of bread.

The bread cloth, woven in a traditional Austrian company and made of original natural baker's linen, is ideal for covering dough during the resting and proofing stages.

For special breads, rolls, and baked goods with a great crust.

Linen production

Only flax grown in Europe is used to make the bread cloth. The raw material (flax) comes from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The fabric is woven in Austria.


The special dough cloth

The dough cloth, also known as a baking cloth, is used during the resting/proofing stage. It prevents the dough from drying out while keeping the temperature constant. In addition, the natural linen fabric provides support for soft dough pieces.
