Collection: Sourdough Proofing Baskets (Bannetons)

Shape, support, and proof your sourdough dough with our handmade natural rattan bannetons.

A banneton does two essential things: it supports your shaped dough during the final proof so it holds its structure, and it draws excess moisture from the surface, which helps develop a stronger, crispier crust in the oven. Without a banneton, high-hydration sourdough dough spreads and flattens during proofing — the result is a flat loaf rather than an open, well-risen one.

Choose your shape

Oval Banneton — our most popular shape.
Produces an oblong bâtard loaf using around 500–550g of flour. Slices evenly for sandwiches and everyday eating, and fits standard bread bags easily. If you are buying your first banneton, start here.

Round Banneton
Produces a classic round boule using around 700–750g of flour. A larger loaf — great for families, sharing, or a dramatic table centrepiece. Many bakers own both shapes.

Both bannetons are handmade from 100% natural Indonesian rattan with no waxing, painting, or chemical treatment. Each comes with a fitted cloth liner embroidered with the Flour + Water logo.

Using the cloth liner

Use the banneton with the liner for a smooth crust and mess-free proofing — no flour dusting required. Use it without the liner to create the traditional spiral ring pattern on your sourdough crust. Both approaches work — it comes down to personal preference.

Also in this collection

Cloth Liner — spare or replacement liner. Machine washable, air dry only. Fits both round and oval 25cm bannetons.
Banneton Cleaning Brush — removes dried flour from every groove after each bake. Never wash your banneton with water — use this brush instead.
