Dimpola Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Set 2 🍞

This natural rattan banneton set brings structure and breathability to home baking, helping achieve better crust and crumb when proofing loaves. If you want a reliable sourdough proofing basket set for artisan-style bread, this kit includes round and oval baskets plus essential tools to shape and release dough easily.

Key Points

The set contains two bannetons, one 9-inch and one 10-inch, made from natural rattan that promotes airflow and wicks excess moisture from the dough during the final rise. This helps create a dryer surface and more defined scoring, according to the manufacturer. Included cloth liners prevent sticking for wetter doughs and make shifting the loaf easier when transferring to a peel or pan. 🥖

Also supplied are practical accessories such as a stainless steel scraper and a dough whisk, which simplify mixing and portioning. The baskets are handwoven with a smooth finish to reduce splinters and avoid off-odors, allowing you to dust with rice flour and release loaves cleanly.

Usage Recommendations

For best results, dust each basket lightly with rice flour before placing the dough, especially for higher hydration formulas. If your dough is very sticky, use the provided liner and invert the banneton onto parchment when shaping to preserve the dough surface. When cleaning, avoid prolonged soaking and let the rattan dry completely to prevent mold. 🌾

These baskets suit a range of levains from tighter sandwich loaves to open-crumb artisan sourdough. Beginners will appreciate the structure during final proof, while more experienced bakers can use the oval shape for bâtards and the round for boules. Note that because rattan absorbs moisture, heavily hydrated doughs may need extra flour or the liner to prevent sticking, according to the manufacturer. 🍞

The Essentials

Handmade construction gives each basket a slightly unique weave and finish, which contributes to natural variation in dough marks and final crust texture. Lightweight and easy to store, the set is a practical addition to a baker’s toolkit and complements traditional scoring and baking methods.
