The Flour Brushes category groups together essential tools in the environment of the professional baker as well as the enthusiast. Used to remove excess flour from work surfaces, dough pieces or proofing baskets, brushes ensure a clean environment, precise shaping and impeccable presentation before baking. They also contribute to bakery hygiene and finished product quality.
The flour brush is more than just an accessory: when properly chosen, it helps to maintain a homogeneous texture, avoid flour burns in the oven, and respect the standards of a well-finished loaf. It can also be used to remove dust from work surfaces, maintain liners or clean bannetons. Different sizes and bristle types are available to suit different uses: soft bristles for delicate doughs, stiff bristles for more vigorous brushing, natural or synthetic fibers to suit your preferences.
Selection criteria include brush width, handle length, ergonomics, fiber type (natural bristles, nylon, horsehair, etc.), moisture resistance and ease of maintenance. In professional laboratories, brushes must also meet hygiene requirements (HACCP colors, washable materials, absence of retentive zones). For educational or domestic use, priority will often be given to workability and softness on contact with the dough.
