Hi Jim, for very high-hydration doughs you're probably going to be better off using a well-floured brotform liner or towel to line your basket. I use a blend of half AP and half brown rice flour to prepare my baskets, and when using a liner I rub the flour into the cloth so that it is embedded there, and sometimes even sprinkle a little more flour on top of that if I'm really worried about sticking! Especially if your wet dough is going to be in the brotform for an extended time (like overnight refrigeration), a liner can definitely be a loaf saver!
