If you’re baking bread in any capacity and you need a banneton that adds an artisanal quality to your batch, this round 500g rattan bread proving basket is ideal for your needs. The basket leaves an attractive spiral pattern in the dough, adding a homespun aesthetic touch which is highly desirable in the world of baking. The proving basket helps in the critical stage in the bread-making process, helping your dough to develop flavour and texture before going into the oven.

Before first use, spray the inside slightly with an enzyme-free releasing agent to protect the rattan, and dust with flour. The basket can be cleaned every 4 weeks using a brush without water. Then place the basket in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature between 120° and 140° C to sanitise.
