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.

These are absolutely amazing. I ordered a 2 pack with the bread mats to try out after seeing them all over Instagram. I have a small home bakery and was very excited to try these. As soon as I tried the first one I was sold. I immediately ordered another 2 pack with bread mats. These are all I’ll use now. The wood pulp sort of dehydrates the surface of the dough, making it so much easier to score. I’ve even had improved oven spring with these. They are fantastic. A 1000g loaf bakes beautifully in my 7qt Dutch oven or my Le Creuset bread oven. They are so amazing! I will highly recommend these to any sourdough baker.

so nice I bought it twice, absolutely loved these wood pulp baskets
Honestly surprised how much better my loaves have been turning out
Little pro tip you got to bench rest before you put them in so they don’t stick to the basket
Love them!
