Bread Proving Basket

Our bread proving baskets (bannetons) are made from cane. They are used for the fermentation of the dough and forming bread loaves. Prepare the basket by dusting it with flour, then put the dough in the basket and leave it for the dough to rise. This proving basket is suitable for making 500g and 1kg loaves.

The basket is easy to clean, it needs to be brushed with a hard brush, wash with water, soap is not needed to clean it. When drying the basket put the basket in the oven at 130’c for 45mins, this will dry the basket and kills any possible germs and mould. The baskets are not suitable as equipment for baking the bread in the oven.
