Baking Yeast Bread

In your 2nd episode on Baking Yeast Bread you placed the dough in a pan for baking. It looked like it was sitting on a paper or cloth of some sort. Can you explain what that was and what it's purpose was?



Chef Todd Says:

Good eye, Michael! That is parchment paper. It is available at most grocery stores and keeps items from sticking in baking. It enables easier transport of items from pan to pan and is a good all-purpose item to have in your kitchen for baking.
