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.

I love my rhsd proofing baskets. When I turn out my dough, it holds its shape better than it holds in my other oval bannetons. I feel like it oaborbs more moisture. At any rate, I give these guys 5 stars. I’m sure I’ll be purchasing more.

I recently switched from a traditional lined banaton to the RHSD wood pulp basket and I love it! My loaves have better color, a thinner crust, and actually seem to stay a little fresher a little longer (but that might also be because I switched from a 1:1:1 to a 1:2:2 feeding 🤷🏻♂️) My only wish is that he start carrying them in a circular boule shape!

I have been baking sourdough for 5 years now and the RHSD Wood Pulp Proofing Basket are THE BEST. I just wish they would have been around sooner! The size is perfect for all my dough recipes and has created consistence across all my bakes. I’ve also seen more spring in all my loafs since using these baskets. Oh and the ears! Every loaf has come out with a Instagram worthy ear, perfection for any bread nerd. I cant recommend RHSD enough and pair your basket(s), hint get 2… always make 2 loafs, with a bread mat! Both are the best baking investment ever.
I recommended them to all my friends… get a bread mat too.

I have been using the same round bannetons for years but recently purchased some RHSD ones and can’t imagine using another. It has always been a challenge to get that consistent well-proofed but structurally strong dough in the past, but every single time I use one of these bannetons, it eliminates so many of the frustrations I have had in the past. Minimal flour is needed to keep it from sticking, the dough pops out easily and holds it shape and height extremely well, and it is the perfect size for a lodge combo cooker. All contribute to a perfect loaf with great oven spring and texture.

I bought this proofing basket and I cannot recommend it enough!! My ear and texture of my loaf have never been better! I also love the ease that I have to clean this basket- it makes my life SO much easier.
