Know before you buy
This basket is designed for standard round loaves typically made with 500 to 750 grams of flour. It provides enough volume for a well-risen loaf while maintaining the structural support needed for a professional shape.
You can use it either way. Using it without a liner allows the rattan to imprint the classic ribbed pattern directly onto your crust, provided you generously dust the basket with flour or rice flour to prevent sticking.
If dough residue remains, let it dry completely and then use a stiff-bristled brush to remove the dried bits. Never use soap, as the porous rattan will absorb the scent and potentially transfer it to your future loaves.
Yes, it is ideal for sourdough. The natural rattan construction promotes airflow, which helps create a slightly drier surface on the dough, leading to a better crust development during the bake.
Ensure the basket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated area. Storing it in a damp environment can lead to mold growth, so avoid putting it away in a closed cupboard immediately after use.
