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 thought these would be for a 600 gram loaf. But I find they are best for a somewhat larger 800-900 gram loaf. They are lovely with a nice full oven spring.

The shape makes it difficult to know just where to score. Other than that, I like them.

I love the size and the smooth finish. No need for a liner. I’ll be buying more

I bought a round proofing basket after a friend recommended it. It took a few weeks to commit to buying as there are so many less expensive options out there. This basket is worth every penny. It’s literally been a game changer in the quality and consistency of bread I’ve been able to make. We just bought 2 more. They’re amazing!

Love the baskets. Bought one each of the oval and round. They don’t stick to the dough at all and they keep the outside somewhat dry which is a plus
