Brown recommends that you allow your dough to rise in a container with
straight sides--otherwise, how will you ever know when it has actually
doubled? It's all a guessing game in a mixing bowl that slopes
from very small at the bottom to w-i-d-e at the top. Just put
your dough in one of these handy buckets with a rubber band (or masking
tape) marking the top of the dough and there will be absolutely no
doubt about when it has doubled.
The Dough Rising Baskets Sometimes called a Banneton (pronounced BANN-tahn), these natural rattan cane hand woven rising baskets help shape your loaf of sourdough bread in its final proofing. As the dough rises in the Rising Basket, the basket's coils and flour dusting provide a beautiful shape and decor for a traditional hearth bread. Tip: Before you use your basket: Get it ready to shape your dough by coating it thoroughly with flour. With a soft cloth, rub the flour into the rattan so that all of the inside has a nice flour coating. Dump out the excess flour gently. Then you're ready to put your shaped unrisen dough into the basket for its final rise. When your dough has risen, place a baking sheet on top of the basket and turn the basket over so that the shaped loaf rests on the baking sheet. You may brush off the excess flour with a soft dry pastry brush--or not. Bake as usual. Another method you can use is to heavily flour a cotton tea towel and put it inside the basket--then add your shaped loaf. Saves having to deal with a "floury" basket.

Notice how much larger the dial is on this one as compared to the 'regular' size. I Love It! And I was surprised when I compared this 'old fashioned' analog instant-read thermometer with one of those new digital ones. I'm all about new kitchen tools, but in this case, the digital is in the drawer. This one reads temps twice as fast as the fancy one that needs a battery. Go figure! Anyway, it's nearly impossible to tell when a loaf of sourdough bread is ready to take out of the oven without one of these. If you already have one, then use it! A loaf of bread is done when its internal temp is between 200° and 210° F. This therm is included in all of the breadmaker kits. By itself, it's $10 with only $2 shipping.

Rectangular
Baking Stone If you bake any kind of bread--or even if you just bake frozen pizzas--you will love having a baking stone in your oven. You don't need to bake directly on the stone to get fabulous results because this preheated stone will hold enough heat to transfer to your baking sheet for crisper crusts and more even baking. This Baking Stone is different--it isn't brittle and fragile like the others you'll find. It's reinforced with a patented blend of kiln-fired raw materials to give it strength and resistance to breakage. Leave your baking stone in the oven all the time to help your oven maintain consistent temperatures no matter what you're baking. And it requires very little maintenance--just scraping up big spills. This baking stone is available in two sizes:13 7/8 inches by 17 1/2 inches and 15 by 20 inches. Be sure to measure your oven shelf carefully before you order. You'll need a one-inch margin on all sides of the baking stone so that the heat of the oven can circulate.

An Ultra-Sharp Razor Knife Lame' for Making Slashes in Your Risen Loaves of Sourdough Bread
The
Incredible Tomato Slicer
I'll bet you've never seen a knife quite like this one--I hadn't. When my friend gave me mine, he told me that I wouldn't believe how it could slice a tomato, and he was right! Unlike other types of cutlery, this blade is both hollow ground and serrated on both sides. This unique combination allows you to be incredibly accurate with a remarkably sharp knife whether you are right or left-handed.
Long-Handled Stirrers for Gas Cooktops
When I got my wonderful gas cooktop about three years ago, I was amazed and dismayed that whenever I needed to stir a dish for more than a moment, the heat from the burner, even on low, was so hot on my wrists and forearms that I couldn't stand it. I soon asked husband Walt to make me some stirrers with extra long handles so that I could enjoy stirring my custard and cooking my stir-fries without pain. We did some experimenting and decided that about 20 inches was a good length and that a dark hardwood (more expensive but not porous) would be the best material to use. $25 for the pair plus $3.50 shipping. If you want only one, that's fine--it's $14--with $3.50 shipping.

As
you may know (or not) sourdough breads tend to rise out (spread) rather
than up because of the acidity of the dough, which weakens gluten. San
Francisco Sourdough Bread is also on the heavy side, which also makes
it spread. So, a form to encourage your loaf to be the shape
you want is a big help. Before you use your proofing basket--Get
it ready to shape your dough by coating it thoroughly with flour. With
a soft cloth, rub the flour into the rattan so that all of the inside
has a nice flour coating. Dump out the excess. Then you're ready to
put your baguette-shaped unrisen dough into the basket for its final
rise. When it has risen, place a baking sheet on top of the basket,
hod the two together firmly, and turn the two over so that the shaped
loaf rests on your baking sheet. Slash, glaze and bake as usual. If
you don't want to flour the rattan basket, put a thin all-cotton tea
towel that has been heavily floured inside the basket and then place
your dough inside for its second rise. Whatever works for you! This
basket is 9 inches' long 5 incheswide and about 3 inches tall and holds
dough weighing about 1.5 lbs. The
price is $14.99 shipping is Free~

If
you cook or bake or even grill, then you need to have a pastry
brush in your kitchen drawer--because it's for much more than pastry. But
you need one especially when you want to make beautiful as well as
great-tasting San Francisco Sourdough Bread. For some reason,
bread made with a sourdough starter is notorious for not browning
as well as breads made with conventional packaged yeasts, so an egg
wash is more necessary with sourdough. This handy little multi-tasker
comes in all of the breadmaker kits. By itself, it's a mere
$3 with $1.50 added for shipping if you don't need anything else.
Everything
that's in the Breadmaker Basics ToolKit, the original
San Francisco sourdough starter, the detailed instruction booklet
and
recipes,
the Wire-Bail
Jar for protecting
your stash in the fridge, the crinkly all-cotton tea towel, the ultra-sharp
razor knife for slashing your delicate risen dough,the pastry brush,
the chrome-topped glass cornmeal shaker for coating your baking sheet
or stone, the instant-read thermometer to determine when your wonderful
sourdough bread is done,
the amazingly efficient bowl scraper to help you clean up and a
baker's dozen of the heavy-duty long bread bags plus you
get the Unique handmade Starter Stirrer, the multi-tasking Dough
Divider /Scraper Chopper, the Funnel Cup
and the 3.5-Quart Dough Rising Bucket! $95+ value
in 14 great tools for only $85 plus only $14.50 for shipping
in the USA. 
An
all-cotton towel is much more efficient for covering rising
dough than plastic wrap--it won't stick to the dough and
it's so much easier to put on and take off than that blasted
plastic wrap that gets wrinkled or sticks to itself. And
that's not even mentioning that cotton recycles itself in
the washing machine--no plastic to throw away--or the fact
that that's what my Grandma Nana used to cover her rising
loaves of homemade light bread. $2.99 with free
USA shipping.
I
must have half a dozen of these handy shakers in my kitchen
cabinet--I keep them full of flour, powdered sugar, cornmeal,
grated Parmesan, kosher salt, freshly ground (in an extra
coffee grinder) black pepper, red pepper flakes or whatever.
They make it easy to shake a little of what you need in a
controlled area. They're glass, not plastic, so they're pretty
enough for the table too. And the price is reasonable
at $2.99. One of these comes in every kit, but if you
want it by itself, shipping is just $2.50.
If
you've baked with sourdough, you know how sticky and clingy
it is--much, much more so than any other kind of dough. This
scraper is stiff and thin enough to scrape a bowl or a
counter far better than any spatula--and it's flexible
enough to curve to the shape of the bowl. It won't
replace your spatulas--but this is one tool you're going
to thank me for--I just know it. This handy little
tool is also a multi-tasker. I use it all the time
to 'scrape' up onions or peppers that I've chopped--just
like its cousin, the metal Bench Knife/Dough Divider/Scraper. Plus,
you'll probably like the price too. Can't get much
that's really useful and doesn't wear out these days for
$3.99, but that's all you'll pay--and in the USA, you get
free shipping to boot. What a deal! 
Loaves
of unbaked bread that are fully risen are delicate and need a very
sharp edge and a gentle hand to slash them without having a 'deflate!' This
little knife, with its snap-off blade sections, is the perfect tool
for the job. If you save it for only cutting bread dough, it
will take it a long time to become dull, but when it does, you just
snap off the end and voila! a brand new sharp edge. You'll
love this little gadget for other tasks in your home, so maybe you
should order two, since the price is right and the shipping is FREE!! $2.99
with Free Shipping.
