Bread Banneton Proofing Basket (9 inch Set of 2) & Dough Scraper by Oloriam - Round 100% Rattan. Baking bowl for Sourdough with liner for Artisan Baking, professional & Home Bakers.

FEATURE This 100% natural rattan proofing basket works by creating a humid environment - called a micro climate - between the material of the basket and the dough by absorbing the moisture from the surface of the dough. Leaven the dough the traditional way and place into the basket. After the dough rises, put it into the oven. This would produce a bread loaf with a beautiful design. The basket is environment friendly, easy to clean and non-harmful to food and skin.
