Know before you buy
Unlike traditional rattan baskets, this plastic version is non-porous, which prevents mold and bacteria buildup over time. It is also significantly easier to clean since it is fully dishwasher safe.
While the plastic is smooth, we recommend lightly dusting the basket with flour before adding your dough to ensure a clean release. The design is specifically shaped to support the structure of your loaf during the final rise.
This 10-inch oval basket is ideal for standard sourdough loaves or artisan breads weighing between 1.5 and 2 pounds. Its dimensions provide enough room for the dough to expand without losing its shape.
No, this basket is strictly for the proofing stage of your bread-making process. It should not be placed inside the oven or used as a baking mold.
Yes, the basket's bright yellow and red design makes it an attractive option for serving bread at the table once your loaf has been baked and cooled.
