Description
Wood pulp proofing baskets have been used in European bakeries for over 100 years; for good reason!
- They absorb moisture evenly, creating a crispier crust
- They are environmentally friendly, made from sustainable wood pulp
- They are easy to clean, just allow them to dry completely between uses
- Their thick walls offer thermal insulation, limiting dough temperature fluctuations
- They are sturdy and have a professional look and feel
- They last a lifetime
I offer two shapes of proofing basket, a round and an oval . My go-to size is an 875g oval, but hey, some prefer the round!
The oval basket is for loaves 750 – 1000g (875g sweet spot)
The round is for loaves 650 – 900g (750g sweet spot)
*I have had many bakers bake 500g loaves in both and love them!
These are the only basket I use in my baking.
These wood pulp proofing baskets are hand made in Germany, so slight fluctuations in color and size basket to basket are expected.
Return Policy:
Since these are a food contact item, I cannot return opened proofing baskets.

Purchased one of these baskets after reading about the stories I have read. Followed Mike’s directions on first use, baked my first loaf and yes, I’ll never go back!
I’ll probably order another one & give to my daughter who got me started in sourdough
Order yourself one, you deserve it🤪. While your at it, get one of his magnets to attach on your oven🥰.
If you have ever lost your starter in the oven by keeping it toasty warm under the light & your better half comes in & turns on the oven to 350°, you’ll thank Mike for having it available…ask me how I know🫣
Glad I dehydrated some starter and had it in the freezer………go & do yourself a favor & dehydrate some today in your oven!

My in-laws got me them for Christmas. They have made a huge difference in my loaves. The dough holds its shape so much better and I get a much better ear on my sourdough with these proofing bowls. Love them! Can’t wait to get more!!!

I just proofed my first bread loaves in these baskets, and they are incredible! I have made 100+ loaves using the classic rattan with linen liner bannetons, and I almost always have an issue with my loaves sticking to the liner (even with a generous flouring). I also struggle with buildup on the liners since there is not an easy way to clean them. I prepped these as the instructions stated, and WOW, these worked like a charm on the first try! I really appreciate the written and video instructions that come with these, since I can be prone to user error. Overall, these bannetons are amazing, and I will be recommending them to all of my sourdough friends!
