These proofing baskets are designed to last you a lifetime. They are made with locally sourced willow and woven with mastery to give you a beautiful sturdy piece that will acompany you in all your future bakes. They can be used by the home baker, and they are adapted for heavy-duty daily use in a professional bakery too.

Using always the same banneton each time you bake, will give you a visual idea of how proved your loaf is. And using a beautiful, unique handmade piece will make your baking ritual feel even more wholesome.

Use & Care Instructions

When you first get a new banneton you must season it before you use it. They work best when there is a thin layer of moisture. So, you can spray some water on the banneton and then dust it with flour. Once the flour has dried, it will adhere to the liner. This will create a protective layer that will prevent your dough from sticking to the fabric. Everytime you use the banneton you will need to flour it quite generously. You can use any type of flour for the dusting.

The liners are removable, so you can easily wash them. Nevertheless, these bannetons are made to be washed very seldomly. If you do wash them, don't forget to season them before you use them again.

After every bake allow them to dry completely, either in the sun or inside your oven with the temperature always below 70C. Once they have dried, you can just gently tap them on the table counter to remove excess flour or brush them with a stiff brush.

Don't stack your bannetons one on top of the other because these might lead to them becoming mouldy.
