Know before you buy
A banneton basket is used during the final proofing stage to support the shape of your dough. The rattan structure helps the bread maintain its round form while promoting airflow, which results in a better rise and a more professional-looking crust.
Before placing your dough inside, generously dust the basket with flour—rice flour works particularly well because it is less likely to absorb into the dough. If you prefer a smooth finish on your bread, you can also use a fitted elastic liner.
This basket is not dishwasher safe. After use, simply let it air dry completely, then gently tap it against the counter or use a soft-bristled brush to remove any excess flour. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
No, this basket is strictly for proofing your dough. It is made of natural rattan and is not heat-resistant, so it should never be placed in an oven.
This basket is ideal for standard sourdough or artisan bread recipes using approximately 500 to 750 grams of flour. Its 3.5-inch height provides ample room for a medium-sized loaf to proof without overflowing.
