Never used anything but a bowl - mixing rising - everything but proofing. About 10" across and 7 deep. You'll get used to reading it after a few. Enjoy!
Do you mean something like a salad bowl, with sloping sides? I mostly accordion fold anymore, but for lower hydration doughs (like Hamelman), I use a salad bowl because I find it easier to more gently handle the dough. I think Trevor K. Wilson does this, IIRC, and I liked it.
If you have some old cloth diapers, a smooth tea towel, or even an old cloth napkin, you can use them to line a colander for the proofing or second rise.

That's the ticket, don't know Trevor so can't say. Enjoy!
Thanks phaz. Here's Trevor Wilson's site. I enjoyed his e-book.

If I am making 1/2 of a loaf (about 2 pounds) that totally fits in a 9/5 baking pan, can I second proof in the same pan I will be baking in?
No problem. Enjoy!
