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.

The quality of this couche is wonderful, and is a trusted addition to my baking needs. I’m glad I bought two of them!

Does the job and adds a bit of “warmth” to the task.

This linen couche was on our daughter’s Christmas wish list. I’m sure she’ll be happy to receive it. It took some time to arrive and I was getting concerned since there was no indication it was moving at all until a few days ago. It finally arrived yesterday (22Dec) so it all worked out well.

Lifelong baker here and I absolutely love this couche! Finally a product that works well with wet dough. I have had inferior products for many years and they always made me give up on the wetter, looser recipes, but not this couche! I recommend this product for seasoned bakers and those who are just getting started. I also like supporting small businesses and purchasing this item does that.
