Know before you buy
A banneton is crafted from rattan, which allows the dough to breathe and wicks away excess moisture from the surface. This creates a slightly drier skin on the loaf, resulting in a better rise and a crispier crust compared to proofing in a smooth-sided bowl.
The liner is optional. Using it creates a smooth finish on your loaf and prevents dough from sticking to the rattan coils. If you prefer the classic spiral pattern imprinted on your crust, you can use the basket without the liner, provided you dust the rattan thoroughly with flour.
Avoid washing the basket with soap and water, as rattan can absorb moisture and develop mold. Simply shake out excess flour after each use and let it air dry completely in a warm spot or near the oven before storing.
The 8-inch round basket is ideal for standard boules, while the 9-inch oval is better suited for batards or loaves you intend to slice for sandwiches. Choose the shape that best matches the final aesthetic and serving style you prefer for your bread.
To prevent sticking, ensure you generously dust the basket or the liner with flour—rice flour works exceptionally well because it does not contain gluten and resists absorption. If you are working with a very high-hydration dough, the linen liner is highly recommended to ensure a clean release.
