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.

These baskets are amazing. I love the shape and size. I think my loaves turn out better because of them. I thought both shapes and can’t decide which I like more! I’ll never use another proofing basket.

Worth it! I love these and will never go back to using the other bannetons. If you’re on the fence, place the order! You won’t regret it.

This proofing basket was 100% worth the investment. After using just a couple of times, I ordered 2 more because I don’t want to ever have to make another loaf without one.

This is the best proofing basket I have ever used. Perfect size and shape. This takes my breadmaking to a whole new level.

Game changer. I don’t know if it’s the shape, the size, the material, or all of the above, but these make beautiful loaves. My cheapo Amazon baskets worked fine, but these are next level. I can’t wait to get more of them in the oval shape.
