This artisan bread proofing basket will allow you create beautiful spiral patterns of flour - that contrast nicely with slash marks - on your artisan bread at home or in a bakery.
Natural rattan banneton baskets (also known as brotforms) such as this one work best by developing a thin build-up of flour and moisture which helps to remove the dough from the banneton proving basket before baking.The thin layer of flour creates a very slightly humid micro-climate between the dough and the banneton during proofing.The brotform will hole most of the dough however the top of the dough will be left exposed, it is recommending to dust with a coat of flour and cover with a light cotton or soft linen cloth (such as a tea towel)
This banneton bread basket design is hand crafted with a 23cm diameter at the top end, and 3 1/2 inch deep allowing you to mould large batches of dough with will feed the whole family.
Please to bake bake in the banneton - the banneton is for proving only.Baking in this product will not end well.
