I'm always wondering what to use to cover my rising loaves... Just out of curiosity - what did you use to cover your loaves on a half sheet pan? In our test kitchen we use old fashioned (and no longer available) plastic proofing covers. Some options I have found useful at home are: the chamber of the microwave, under the biggest stainless steel mixing bowl I have, under a brown paper bag, under a cardboard box. Even though I can't see what is going on, all of these keep the dough in draft free environment and prevent a crust from forming. Frank from KAF. At home, I use the cheap plastic cover from a deli party platter - it's see-through, lightweight, and if you get the BIG rectangular party platter, the reclaimed cover will fit over your whole half-sheet pan.
