Jovial Linen Couche
Hand-crafted on the island of Sardegna by Mario and Franca, a husband and wife team of artisan weavers, this linen couche is made from untreated and unbleached flax that is grown on the island and woven on ancient looms. Also known as a baker’s proofing cloth, Jovial’s Linen Couche is the perfect way to allow your dough to rise gently and wick away just a small amount of surface moisture to create a crispy crust and help hold the loaf shape. Line your favorite colander or bowl for rounds, accordion fold for a lineup of baguettes or swaddle a ciabatta in a folded envelope of this extra-large cloth.
Care Instructions: Hand wash with mild soap, rinse and hang dry before using. Dust generously with rice flour or regular flour to prevent sticking. We do not recommend repeated washing of your couche to prevent small fibers from developing. Shake out excess flour after use and wrap tightly for storage. Hand wash gently after multiple uses.

The jovial couche is made of a heavy high quality linen material. I put it over my glass sealed bowl to keep my starter warm after feeding. I also used it to cover the einkorn bread dough when in the loaf pan during the rising step.

Works well for proofing dough but lost some shape after first washing before use. I followed the care instructions and used gentle cycle but should have hand washed it so the fibers didn’t loosen.

This couche is thick and substantial - exactly what you need when working with sticky dough. Excellent workmanship - thank you!
- BJBobby J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoLinen Couche much better than a tea towel
Before I received my Linen Couche, I was using plastic wrap to cover my rising dough. Problems with the dough sticking to the plastic. With the linen couche, no more problems with the dough sticking!

So happy to have found this Jovial Linen Couche for bread baking. This is the real deal for working with sticky dough so it is perfect for baking with Einkorn. Love the story behind the product as well.
