Parchment Paper (Bakery/Baking Paper)

Baking paper – also known as bakery paper or parchment paper, as it is often called especially in the US – is grease proof paper with a non-stick surface and is greaseproof and highly resistant to heat, which makes them versatile. It is environmentally friendly. Made from certified wood, the paper can be recycled after use as bio-waste, composted or burned. When using baking paper sheets, there is no need for greasing trays or dishes. The food and pastries will not stick, which makes washing up much easier. These sheets can also be used for decoration, for rolling dough, in freezing and as an intermediate sheet. Because of its excellent non-stick properties, pastries and bread can be frozen and later baked on the same paper. They are also suitable for microwave ovens and panini presses.
