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.

I love this basket. So easy and so far I have no issues with the dough sticking.
Also have to mention how nice it is to make a purchase and have no plastic involved in the packaging! Kudos!

Got the oval proofing basket and the champion silicon mat and they have been awesome. Really helps maximize the capability of dutch oven I got last year for my birthday!

I am new to sourdough, but when I came upon these pulp proofing baskets and bread mat, it just made sense to me to go this route. Just a couple of loaves in and I’m so pleased with ease of use and results. Easy to clean, easy to handle dough and bread. Happy baker!

I am not new to bread making as I learned much about bread from my mother, however, I am new to sourdough, and have been making sourdough white bread for a year, and didn’t even know about proofing baskets. I searched online about the different types, and through a utube video, I found these proofing baskets. Most all others were rattan and looked like too much work! So, as I read through the description of your baskets, I thought they were simple and easy to use, and clean! They are! I love them and am heading on down the sourdough bread journey! Thank you! A great product!

I got my RHSD bread basket a couple weeks ago and have made 3 loaves with it so far. I really like it!
