Know before you buy
This basket is designed to hold between 500 and 750 grams of dough. It is perfectly sized for a standard artisan loaf.
You have the choice. Using a liner will result in a smooth loaf surface, while placing the dough directly into the rattan will imprint the classic, professional-looking grooved texture onto your crust.
After use, shake out any excess flour and let the basket air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid washing it with water or soap, as moisture can cause mold to grow on the natural rattan.
No, this basket is strictly for the proofing stage. Once your dough has risen, you must flip it out onto a baking sheet or into a Dutch oven to bake.
Yes, its natural aesthetic makes it a great serving basket for finished bread or rolls once your loaf has cooled and is ready to be sliced.
