Know before you buy
This basket is designed for a standard loaf using approximately 500 to 700 grams of flour. It provides the ideal volume for a single, professional-sized artisan sourdough round.
The liner is optional. Using it creates a smooth crust, while proofing directly in the rattan basket will imprint the signature spiral pattern onto your dough.
If you are not using the liner, dust the basket thoroughly with rice flour before placing your dough inside. Rice flour is less likely to absorb moisture and turn into a paste compared to wheat flour.
Simply brush out any excess flour after the basket is completely dry. If necessary, hand wash with warm water, but ensure it is thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold growth.
Yes, this basket is crafted from natural rattan that complies with EU food-standard regulations, ensuring it is safe for proofing your bread dough.
