Wwyybfk Banneton Bread Proofing Basket 9.8" 🥖

This banneton proofing basket kit brings structure and surface texture to home-baked loaves, helping dough hold a round shape during its final rise and encouraging a crisp crust when baked. If you bake sourdough regularly, this sourdough bread proofing basket lets you shape and channel moisture away from the dough surface for a more distinctive crust and pattern.

Key Points

The kit includes a round proofing basket, a linen liner, a dough scraper and a lame-style scoring tool so you have the basic tools for shaping and finishing loaves without buying extras. The basket is made from lightweight natural rattan that absorbs surface moisture to help form thicker crusts, and it arrives ready to use after a light flour dusting. Consider that the basket fits dough up to about 1.5 pounds, which matches many home sourdough and artisan recipes but may be small for larger boules.

Benefits

Using the basket helps the dough keep a defined round profile during proofing, which simplifies handling and scoring before baking. The included linen liner reduces sticking and makes cleaning easier, especially when you dust it generously with flour. For home bakers looking for natural materials, the eco-friendly rattan construction offers a tactile, traditional feel and a light weight that is easy to move and store. 🥖

Technical Specifications

• Name: Wwyybfk Banneton Bread Proofing Basket
• Material: rattan
• Diameter and depth: 9.8 inches
• Capacity: approximately 1.5 pounds of dough
• Included: basket, linen cover, dough scraper, scoring tool

Usage Recommendations

Dust the liner and basket well with flour before placing dough inside, and gently transfer the dough to your baking surface with care to keep the shaped form. If you prefer stronger flour patterns, use a thicker dusting or a stiffer rice flour mix to highlight the spiral lines. For easier release, chill sticky dough briefly or use the liner rather than placing dough directly in the rattan. 🧺

A practical limitation to note is that natural rattan can show signs of wear over time and should not be soaked; wipe and dry thoroughly after use to maintain its condition. Also keep in mind that the 9.8-inch size is best for standard home loaves rather than very large artisan boules. 🍞
