Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I bake for a living. I have to cover dough to let it rise at least a few times a day, so I'd go through a lot of plastic for the proofing process. However, someone gave me this tip when I first started.
Keep one piece of plastic and use it for all your baking needs. At work, I cut up a large plastic garbage bag because I need to cover a larger area. After every use I clean it off (if necessary), fold it up, and put it away for the next use.
For home, I cut up a gallon size plastic bag, but any piece of plastic will work. Just fold it up and tuck it away, then pull it out whenever you need it.

Garbage bags can be toxic otherwise and not use it for storage for foods. Also not to use for ice that can go into drinks, like at a picnic. I use dish towels to cover bread. A cheap bath towel, bought for purpose of covering the dough would be okay, for large batches.
Anyone have knowlege on toxic bags?

I use either a damp dish towel or I invert a bowl or plate over the top of the one the bread dough is in. If I'm doing several loaves, I turn them out onto the counter and invert a bowl over each loaf, or a roaster pan over several. I find if I get creative, I never have to use plastic wrap. I hate plastic, and try to avoid using it if at all possible.
