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 absolutely love the proofing baskets and mats. They are excellent quality and the mats have saved me a ton of parchment already. I look forward to buying more in the future!

Now I have use them for quite a while can tell that those proofing baskets little too small, very hard to clean and got sticky after 2 times using. Love the silicon math but wish would be bigger also.
I purchased one proofing basket on Amazon with liner and for me work much much better.

Hey Vera! Send me an email and let’s chat about the sticking issue you’re having. I bet I can help with that! So glad you’re loving The BreadMat! I’d love to help you learn to use the wood pulp basket and discover how much better it is than those ones with liners. Talk soon! -Mike

I am relatively new to making sourdough bread for my own starter. I saw this popping up on a lot of the accounts I follow. I was curious so I purchased one and now I will never use anything else! I feel like I get a much better ear on my loaves after they have been in my pulp basket. I will be getting more!

I’ve been baking for 50 years. I have tried every type of proofing available to consumers. This one is the BEST!

By far the best proofing basket I’ve ever used! It’s perfect size and shape for an individual loaf and is holding up really well even after constant use. This wood pulp proofing basket, along with the The Bread Mat, have definitely upped my sourdough game.
