Handcrafted Sourdough Proofing Basket

Our beautiful 7 inch round sourdough proofing baskets also known as a “banneton” are meticulously handcrafted from a small American business. Each bowl is made from solid, custom-braided, 100% unbleached cotton rope. Made in small batches, our bannetons are hand-formed, tightly wound, and stitched to maintain structure and durability. 

At 7 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall, these dimensions were carefully selected through extensive trials.  Larger bowls can cause gluten-free sourdough to spread too thin, weakening the bread’s structure. This custom design provides the perfect lift and form for a beautifully risen, well-shaped loaf. This banneton has been tested with regular gluten sourdough and performed perfectly. It can hold between 500-900g of dough.

To Use: For best results, lightly dust the proofing basket with flour such as white rice and gently place your dough in the proofing basket.  When you’re ready to bake, gently turn the banneton upside down onto parchment paper. Score the bread. For a more pronounced design, dust your dough with white rice flour before scoring.

Care Instructions:There is no need to wash between uses. If necessary, gently hand wash with mild soap in warm water and line dry. This is a natural product, thus rope color may change over time or after washing.
