Know before you buy
This basket is specifically sized for dough weights between 500g and 750g. It provides the ideal support for these sizes to ensure your loaf maintains its structure during the final proof.
No, you should not wash this basket. Because it is made from natural wood pulp, it is designed to be self-cleaning; simply let any residual flour dry out and brush it off. If it needs a deeper clean, you can place it in a turned-off oven after baking to dry out any moisture.
The natural wood pulp is breathable and absorbs excess surface moisture from the dough. This process helps create a drier skin on the loaf, which results in a thinner, crispier, and more crackly crust once baked.
The wood pulp construction is naturally non-stick, making it easier to release your dough compared to traditional rattan baskets. However, we still recommend lightly dusting the basket with flour before placing your dough inside to ensure a clean release every time.
While it is excellent for any yeast-risen dough, it is specifically optimized for sourdough and slow-fermented breads. The breathable walls help maintain the consistent fermentation environment these longer-rising doughs require.
