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.

Thanks for your prompt shipping Mike. My RHSD baskets and Bread Mats arrived Friday.
I am a newbie to sourdough baking and my son had suggested I check out your website. I have enjoyed your recipes and videos for the last few months. Today I followed your First Proofing Basket Loaf recipe using my long coveted new products.
My first batard! Wow. Bread Mat and basket more than delivered- an ear to die for and spring like I have never had before. Loaf looked as great as yours 😀 but even better – the taste! Both products easy to use. Loved the bottom of loaf too. Bottom crust was thinner and easier to cut.
I now feel like a ‘real’ baker.
Thanks for your support with website, social media, and now the fabulous Mat and basket.

I have so many different proofing baskets that I’ve bought throughout the years and was just never satisfied with how they performed. Shape was never held, and it was difficult to get the dough in and especially out. These wood pulp baskets were an absolute game-changer. It makes the bread making process so easy, especially the scoring. My bread has never looked better!

I bought this recently and am so excited to use it! I love the shape and that it’s so easy to use. It came well packaged and with a card with some tips for how to use it properly, what size of loaf to make with it etc.

Bought these with the breadmat combo. Go for it you won’t be disappointed! Great proofing basket (so much better than the low price ones with the cloth) and the bread mat is fantastic. It was worth getting them to travel all the way to Australia 😉 Never using anything else again. Now onto RoseHill Sourdough #x.

I recently purchased two rhsd bannetons along with the bread mat and they are my go to baskets from now on. They are the best!
Shape and size is perfect. My bread results simply improved and I was able to experience better bread for the first time. Very happy with my purchases.
