Hi Jennifer, we're sorry to hear your dough stuck to your banneton liner! Cleaning methods for liners can vary, depending on the material they are made from. If you have a simple cotton/poly liner you can most likely brush or peel off the stuck dough once it has dried, and then wash it in the washing machine, or hand wash and hang dry. If you have a liner made from linen that isn't meant to be washed, brushing the liner well with a rigid plastic brush (like a vegetable brush) once it has dried should be sufficient. As to the current loaf you're making, I suspect you will be able to remove any fuzz stuck to the dough before baking.
