Bread fermentation basket

Description

A bread fermentation basket, also known as a proofing basket or banneton, is an essential baking tool designed to support dough during its final rise before baking. Crafted from natural rattan, wood pulp, or food-safe materials, it helps maintain the shape of the dough while promoting even fermentation. The basket’s spiral or ridged interior creates a beautiful artisanal pattern on the bread crust, giving it a professional bakery-style finish. It also absorbs excess moisture from the dough surface, resulting in a better crust texture and improved structure. Ideal for sourdough and artisan bread baking, it is reusable, durable, and easy to clean, making it a must-have for both home bakers and professionals.
