Bread dough needs to be treated with such love and care and this round All Natural Banneton Basket is what you need to start!
It is 100% handmade natural rattan. it is splinter free and odor free. We inspect each single basket in Brooklyn, NY carefully before we send them your way. You only have to worry about getting your bread that beautiful spring!
The handmade rattan basket is meant to be used for the final proof for your artisan or sourdough recipe. So when your dough is ready, dust your banneton basket with flour liberally (cover it completely, I like using rice flour) so it doesn't stick, then plop your dough in (seam side up) and let it proof for the hours your recipe indicates. Then carefully flip your dough onto parchment paper and onto your preheated dutch oven. The basket will give your dough a uniform shape, a crispy crust and a pretty pattern or you could also use the linen covers instead and create your own bread art. After its time in the oven, you'll get your delicious homemade bread! In the pictures I baked a sourdough bread and it came out delicious and with the crispiest crust!
Additionally, you can also use the basket to store and serve your baked bread. You can use it to make all types of bread recipes and it also makes a wonderful gift to a home baker!
Care:
To clean the basket dust off the excess flour with a brush and leave it out to fully dry out and store it in an open dry space. Since it's made with natural rattan, any humidity will damage it. Do not get it wet. The linen covers can be gently washed with cold water.
