Hi there, James! If you don't have a proofing basket, you can use a bowl that is appropriately sized (about 9" in diameter) that has been lined with a well-floured linen towel. Then when it comes time to transfer the shaped and risen boule to the cloche, just gently turn the boule out onto a piece of parchment! The loaf can then be scored and the parchment used to transfer the loaf from the counter onto the base of the cloche. We hope this helps and happy baking! Morgan@KAF
