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.

Just wow. I did not expect such a difference. I was using a high-qualty rattan prior and this produced a much better crust and huge ears on the bread.

Get these proofing baskets! They are seriously amazing. Love them so much more than my traditional banneton, cleanup is easy and they are well built.

Good morning from WAY up here in chilly Alberta, Canada!
I recently purchased proofing baskets and bread mats from you and they arrived fairly quickly up here! I had been previously using proofing baskets from Amazon, they are a little bigger (10″ I believe) and I often felt a little frustrated with them and pulling the loaves out. So, I had seen your baskets several times on Tik Tok and thought ‘what the heck, treat yoself’! And it was SO worth it!!!!
I was a little nervous because they felt smaller, but oh my gosh they are PERFECT for my loaf sizes, and they really help build that shape overnight with my bulk ferment. I just baked off a boule this morning, and I am VERY happy with it and I think it looks “extra” great from the proofing basket!
I also like the Bread mat, it fits perfectly in my Le Creuset bread oven, I like that I am not fussing around with parchment paper now as well.
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing product, I will definitely be purchasing more to add to my arsenal!

I love that the dough does not stick! I put my other new wonderful tool- Rose Hill Bread Mat- on top of the dough and flip over with ease!
