Sourdough Proofing Basket Set – Essential for Authentic Artisan Bread

Experience sourdough baking at its finest with this comprehensive Proofing Basket Set, crafted to help you create perfectly textured, professional-quality bread at home. The set includes both a round and oval basket with liners, and comes with all the essentials—bread lame with spare blades, dough scraper, and silicone brush—to enhance your bread-making journey.

Why Proofing Baskets Are Key for Sourdough

Proofing baskets, or bannetons, are specifically designed to support sourdough dough as it rises, allowing for controlled fermentation and structure that yield ideal bread shapes and textures. Made from natural rattan, these baskets allow airflow around the dough during proofing, promoting a stable, thick crust that’s characteristic of artisan bread. The breathable structure helps wick moisture away from the dough’s surface, ensuring a satisfying crunch while maintaining an airy interior crumb.

Product Highlights:

1. Natural Rattan for Superior Crust Development
   The rattan material draws out moisture, creating that perfect balance between a golden, crisp crust and a moist, tender crumb. The spiral patterns left by the baskets enhance your bread's visual appeal, giving it that classic, artisan look.

2. Perfect for Both Boules and Batards
   With both round and oval baskets, you can easily craft traditional boules or rustic batards, allowing for creative freedom and variety in your bread shapes.

3. Complete with Professional Baking Tools
   The included bread lame makes scoring your loaves effortless, allowing the dough to expand evenly in the oven, while the spare blades ensure you’re prepared for many bakes to come. The stainless-steel dough scraper simplifies dough handling and clean-up, and the silicone brush helps apply egg washes or water to achieve a bakery-quality finish.

   Designed for both new and seasoned bakers, this set takes the mystery out of sourdough, providing the tools and guidance you need to create beautiful, flavorful bread consistently.
