Description
Wood pulp proofing baskets have been used in European bakeries for over 100 years; for good reason!
- They absorb moisture evenly, creating 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.

These proofing baskets are the best addition to my sourdough journey. They make everything easier and neater, especially paired with the silicon bread lifter!

I am so glad that I purchased these, they are so much better than the others I bought on amazon. I wish I had found them first. Plus the instructions are very helpful.

The round and oval proofing baskets are just as I expected: beautiful, durable, and very easy to clean. They are very nice baskets for a very nice price. They also came with good karma. My current sourdough starter is two years old and has never passed the float test before! My old baskets now hold utensils in the kitchen because I don’t need them for proofing anymore.

These baskets are my favourite. I never have issues with sticking and I love the smooth (non-waffled) surface.
