Know before you buy
A proofing basket, or banneton, provides structure to the dough as it rises, preventing it from spreading outward. The rattan material also allows for better airflow, which helps create a crisp, professional-style crust.
You can use the basket with or without the liner. Using the liner prevents dough from sticking to the rattan ridges and makes cleanup easier, while using the basket without the liner will imprint the classic spiral pattern onto your loaf's crust.
Simply shake out any excess flour after each use and allow the basket to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid submerging the rattan in water, as it can lead to mold growth; if necessary, use a stiff brush to remove dried dough bits.
This basket is designed to hold a standard dough recipe using approximately 500 to 750 grams of flour. It is ideal for a medium-sized artisan round loaf.
Yes, the liner can be machine washed in cold water. We recommend air drying it to prevent any potential shrinkage.
