Banneton with Liner

Why Use a Rattan Banneton for Sourdough?

A rattan banneton (proofing basket) is an no-stress tool for shaping and proofing sourdough. Here's why it's a game-changer for your baking process:

✅ Perfect Shape & Structure – The banneton supports your dough during proofing, helping it maintain its shape and preventing it from spreading too much.

✅ Better Airflow & Fermentation – The natural rattan material allows air to circulate around the dough, and allows for a natural proofing stage.

✅ Easy Transition: Shape → Chill → Bake – After shaping, place your dough in the banneton, cover it, and pop it in the fridge for cold fermentation. When ready to bake, simply turn it out onto your baking surface.

✅ Beautiful Textured Crust – The ridges of the banneton create a rustic spiral pattern on your loaf, adding a signature artisan touch.

This RATTAN banneton (proofing basket) is used to provide structure and shape for sourdough during the proofing stage. The banneton comes with a removable and washable linen liner.  It can be used with the linen liner.   Two shapes are available an round and an oval.

For the best results, heavily sprinkle rice flour or semolina onto the liner (if you are using the liner) or directly onto the banneton (if you are are not using the liner), this stops the dough from sticking.

   
P.S. I dont recommend that you wash your banneton.  Just wipe or blush it over between bakes.
