Dough slings offer so many benefits: **Reduced sticking**: They prevent the dough from sticking to your pan, making it easier to handle. **Maintained shape**: They help maintain the shape and structure of the dough, especially with delicate or high-hydration doughs. **Less handling**: Using a sling minimizes direct contact with the dough, reducing the risk of deflating it and maintaining its airy texture. **Easier transfer**: They make it easier to transfer the dough from one surface to another, such as from the countertop to a baking sheet or into a hot oven. **Cool to the touch**: Almost immediately, the handles of your dough sling are cool enough to touch, making it easy to transfer bread straight out of the oven. **Reusable**: Our dough slings replace the need for parchment paper, and can be used over and over again without creating more trash. Made from high-quality food-grade silicone, this baking mat will save you money, reduce trash, and give beautiful results.
