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 bought the oval banneton and wish I had gotten more. They are working so well and my bread never gets stuck to it. I’ll definitely purchase more when I get a chance.

These are amazing. My sourdough journey has had only been about 4 months & I am so glad I purchased these early in the process. Everything about them is perfect. Love how easy it is to score the bread before baking. Add in the RHSD bread mat, and proofing & baking is a breeze. I use the bead mat-c with the oval proofing basket. Works perfectly. Wouldn’t use anything else.

I absolutely will not use any other proofing basket. I have tried and they all make my loaves flat. These baskets are simply AMAZING!!!! I prefer the oblong but going to grab a couple round as well.

Love love love these wood pulp bannetons. The sizes are perfect for me and love cold retarding in wood pulp. These are by far my most favorite of all the wood pulp bannetons I have purchased!!

Purchased after seeing Basil & Bloom use (and recommend) these baskets. Yes, they might be more expensive than standard rattan proofing baskets, but they are worth the investment. Superior quality and craftsmanship. I love the 2 rounds I initially purchased and plan to purchase 2 oval in the near future.
