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.

This banneton is the best! It’s my favorite, the quality is really good! I think my loaves a perfect every single time because the banneton and I don’t have to use a liner. Thank you for this awesome products.

Love this basket – easy to prepare, use and love that it doesn’t need a liner or linen. Dough loves this proofing basket! As a smaller loaf-size baker, I would love one for 500 – 750g loaves, but no complaints here!

My favorite banneton! I wish I had at least twenty of them! 🙂 I love the shape and feel of the dough when they’ve proofed in the wood pulp bannetons over other types of proofing bowls. Once my loaves are baked, I can tell which ones had been in these bowls and I love how they look.

The proofing baskets are amazing! No more caked up flour on the canvas bags like my other ones! Also the bread mat was a game changer. The bottoms of my loaves are much easier to slice since I’ve started using the them! Way to go with that engineering bud!

I love these proofing baskets as nothing will stick to the insides as sometime exhibited by rattan baskets. Also inadvertently left a basket of dough for a week in the fridge and there was no problem releasing the dough from the banneton. I throw the baskets in the oven to dry after baking and that works great!
