Description

KitchenCraft Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Home Made Round Rattan 22 cm Brown

• Natural rattan construction: Made from robust, food-safe natural rattan cane designed for repeated bread proving.
• 22 cm round design: Traditional circular banneton for shaping round artisan loaves during the final rise.
• For home bread baking: Suitable for sourdough, French boule and other bread doughs requiring support during proofing.
• Supports crisp, patterned crusts: Rattan helps draw surface moisture from the dough while creating an attractive spiral pattern.

The KitchenCraft Home Made Round Banneton Bread Proofing Basket is a traditional rattan proving basket designed to support and shape dough during its final rise before baking. With a 22 cm round profile, it helps bread dough maintain a consistent circular form rather than spreading during proofing, making it particularly useful for artisan-style and sourdough loaves.

Made from robust, food-safe natural rattan cane, the basket provides the porous structure traditionally used by bakers for bread proving. The natural rattan surface helps wick excess moisture away from the exterior of the dough, contributing to a drier surface that can develop a crisp crust during baking. When the basket is used without a liner, its woven spiral construction can also leave the characteristic artisan pattern on the finished loaf.

To use, lightly dust the inside of the banneton with flour before placing the shaped dough inside. As the dough undergoes its final proof, the basket provides support and encourages the dough to retain its round shape. Once proofing is complete, carefully turn the dough onto a prepared baking surface and bake according to the recipe.

This round proving basket is also commonly known as a banneton, brotform or bread proofing basket. It is intended for proving dough only and should not be placed in an oven for baking. The manufacturer/distributor care guidance recommends hand washing, avoiding prolonged immersion in water and drying the basket thoroughly after cleaning.
