How To Use A Banneton For Sourdough

The basics are to take a well fermented dough, then shape and build tension before placing into the banneton.

A boule can be made by folding the edges of the dough into the center to form a ball. When its formed, flip it seam side down and roll around until it is has built tension. This then goes into the banneton, usually seam side up so you can try a nice scoring pattern.
