That's exactly what I do. I have several little brushes and one of them
fits perfectly. However, with bread dough, I've found the best thing to do
is keep rinsing it in COLD water, never hot, and most of it will come
floating away; then take the little brush to it.
The only thing I don't like about washing any FP is that I always let it sit
in my dish rack (not dishwasher rack) and it takes up all the space. I have
no room for another rack and my dishwasher is always full. Worse than
washing out an FP is drying one!
