People Are Losing Their Minds That Nigella Lawson Uses A Leopard Print Shower Cap To Prove Her Dough

We love keeping up with Nigella Lawson and all her recipes, cooking tips and unique pronunciations on her hit show Cook, Eat, Repeat. This week viewers noticed a rather unusual kitchen tool.

After mixing her dough into a "dense, sticky mixture", Nigella grabbed a leopard print shower cap seemingly from her kitchen counter and placed it on top of the mixing bowl.

She explains: "All it needs from me is to cover it to prove for about 16 hours or until it's really risen in volume with a wonderfully spongy surface."

See for yourself below:

Nigella shared her recipe for black bread for her Cook, Eat, Repeat Christmas special which aired on BBC Two on Tuesday.

One Twitter user said: "why is everyone still talking about Mïkro-Wahvé when tonight it was revealed that @Nigella_Lawson uses a leopard print shower cap to prove her dough?

Another viewer said: "Anyone else just purchased a leopard print shower cap specifically to cover bread dough when proving?"

A third Nigella fan added: "Nigella covering her bread with a shower cap to rise is why she'll always be my queen."

More viewers praised Nigella for her novel idea, with one person saying: "just saw using a shower cap to put over a bowl to prove, that's such a good idea!"

We predict there's going to be an increase in the number of shower caps used to prove bread. Another Twitter user shared: "Sat here aperol spritz in hand contemplating making them right now #CookEatRepeat love the shower cap on the bowl for proving"

We're adding leopard print shower caps to our Christmas list right now!
