Oval Banneton Sourdough Bread Proofing Basket with Cloth Liner

Bread bannetons, also known as proofing baskets, serve the dual purpose of proofing bread dough and providing the loaf with a consistent shape, while simultaneously drawing excess moisture from the crust. They create an optimal environment for fresh dough to complete its process following the bulk fermentation stage.

Crafted entirely by hand using unbleached, natural rattan cane sourced from Indonesia, our bannetons are eco-friendly, food-grade, and non-toxic. Trusted by thousands of bakers globally, both professionals and hobbyists, they are a testament to quality and functionality.

Throughout the manufacturing process, no waxing or painting is applied to the rattan bannetons. This ensures their safety for use with your dough. The included liner further facilitates easy dough transfer, preventing sticking.

It's important to note that the natural rattan material may develop a tendency to brown over time. These meticulously handcrafted bannetons remain untreated with any chemicals or paint, allowing for authenticity, and minor imperfections may occur.

Main features:

Maintenance: Ensuring the longevity of your bannetons requires proper care and maintenance.

• Apply a generous amount of flour, particularly rice flour or polenta, to dust the interior before transferring the dough for proofing.
• Once used, allow the banneton to thoroughly dry, utilising the warm oven after baking, once it has cooled slightly.
• Employ our dedicated banneton cleaning brush to eliminate any residual flour from the nooks and crannies, rendering your banneton ready for storage in a dry place until its next use.
• If you utilise our banneton linen cover (liner), there is no need to dust it with flour. Simply dry it out and clean any remaining flour from its surface for optimal upkeep.
