I bake bread using a sourdough starter without commercial yeast. It requires overnight proofing in the fridge after a close to day long process to ready the dough for shaping, overnight proof, and baking the next morning. Many of the doughs are quite high hydration. These silicon vessels are great for reducing the frustration and mess resulting from using proofing baskets and shaping a very high moisture dough. They speed up the process.
I do not put the dough in the silicon moulds until after the first long proof, at the stage where I am about to put the loaves in the fridge overnight. I seal them in a plastic bag. I bake the next morning straight out of the fridge. They withstand high oven temperatures.
If you are a true purist this may not be for you. I do not get the "ear" that is so highly prized. I do get a lovely crust and crumb, and a delicious melt in your mouth nutritious sourdough.
