Abstract: A variable rack for rising bread dough can be quickly and easily configured to cradle one or more bread doughs of the same or different sizes during rising and the risen bread doughs can be simultaneously removed from the variable rack to a baking sheet, in the preferred position of soft dough side up, for direct transfer into the oven. The variable rack supports a series of adjustable canvas loops that cradle rising yeast bread doughs to produce European style loaves of bread that stand free on a baking sheet in the oven, as opposed to being confined in a baking pan.
