Know before you buy
This basket is designed for medium-sized loaves, typically holding between 1.5 to 2 pounds of dough. It is ideal for standard artisan sourdough or yeast bread recipes.
The liner is optional. You can use it if you prefer a smoother crust or are working with a very sticky dough, but using the basket without the liner is what creates the signature spiral pattern on your bread.
This basket is not dishwasher safe. Simply shake out any excess flour after use and let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold; if dough gets stuck, wait for it to dry and brush it off with a stiff-bristled brush.
While the rattan is splinter-free, it is not a non-stick coated surface. To ensure easy release, you must dust the basket thoroughly with flour—rice flour works best—before placing your dough inside.
Yes, it is recommended to lightly mist the basket with water and dust it with flour, then let it dry completely before your first bake. This helps season the rattan and ensures your dough releases smoothly.
