Brotform Proofing Basket, Round Loaf

  • A favourite in European bakeries for generations, this proofing basket is called a Brotform in Germany & a banneton in France. Crafted of natural cane & shaped for round or rectangular loaves, it allows the dough to rise evenly into a uniform shape, while the rattan coils draw out moisture to promote a crispy crust. Spiral indentations left by the coils bake into the bread, so loaves come out with a classic artisanal finish; line the basket with cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother finish.

    • Crafted of traditional natural cane.
    • Creates rustic ribbed pattern in crust; line with cheesecloth for smoother finish.
