Oval Proofing Basket / Banneton (30 cm)

Achieve the classic artisan loaf shape and a beautifully textured crust with our 30 cm Oval Proofing Basket (Banneton). Crafted from 100% natural rattan cane, this essential tool absorbs excess surface moisture during proofing to help your high-hydration dough maintain its form and structure.

Key Features:

 100% Natural Cane Material: Breathable rattan creates an ideal microclimate, absorbing surface humidity to encourage a crisp, blistering crust.  

 Optimal Shape Retention: Supports long oval loaves (batards), preventing the dough from spreading flat before entering the oven.

 Artisan Spiral Pattern: Leaves a distinctive, traditional flour-ring imprint on your baked loaf.

 Ideal Capacity: Designed for standard family-sized loaves (approx. 750 g – 1000 g dough weight).  

How to Use:

1. Dust the interior generously with rice flour or a flour-starch mix prior to placing your shaped dough inside.  

2. Place your shaped batard dough into the basket seam-side up for final proofing (room temperature or cold retardation).

3. Invert the dough gently onto your baking surface or Dutch oven before scoring.

Care Instructions:

 Cleaning: Never submerge or wash with water. Allow the basket to dry completely after use, then brush out excess flour with a stiff, dry dedicated brush.  

 Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and mold.
