Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a bread proofing basket (banneton) used for?

A: A bread proofing basket, also known as a banneton or brotform, is used to support shaped dough during its final rise (proofing stage). The basket holds the dough in the correct shape, prevents it from spreading, and the natural rattan material helps absorb surface moisture — resulting in a better crust, a beautiful spiral pattern, and a more structured artisan loaf once baked.

Q: How do I clean and maintain this rattan proofing basket?

A: Cleaning is simple. Remove the cloth liner and hand wash it with warm water — it's reusable and machine-washable. For the rattan basket itself, tap out any excess flour, wipe lightly if needed, and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid soaking the rattan in water to preserve its natural structure and longevity.

Q: Is this basket suitable for sourdough bread dough?

A: Yes! This rattan bread proofing basket is ideal for sourdough, as well as other artisan bread doughs. The natural rattan and cloth liner create the perfect environment for slow, even fermentation, making it a favourite tool among sourdough bakers of all experience levels.
