BAKEMASTER PROVING BASKET RECTANGULAR LOAF 300x150x80mm

Bakemaster Proving Basket Rectangular Loaf 300 x 150 x 80 mm

The Bakemaster Rectangular Loaf Proving Basket (banneton) measures 300 x 150 x 80 mm. It supports dough during its final prove so the loaf holds its shape, then you turn it out onto a peel or tray ready to score and bake.

The coils of the basket leave the classic floured spiral pattern on artisan loaves, and the basket draws a little moisture from the surface of the dough, which helps build a better crust. A must-have for sourdough and artisan bread.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop the dough sticking?

Dust the basket generously with rice flour or a mix of rice flour and plain flour before adding the dough. Rice flour does not absorb moisture as easily, so it releases better.

Can I bake in the proving basket?

No. Proving baskets are for proving only. Turn the dough out onto a peel, tray or into a Dutch oven to bake.

How do I clean it?

Tap out excess flour after each use and brush the grooves with a dry brush. If needed, rinse in warm water without detergent, never soak it, and dry it thoroughly.

How do I store it?

Store it somewhere cool and dry with air around it, not in plastic, and do not stack damp baskets, so mould cannot form.

What size loaf does it suit?

Choose a basket that suits the dough weight and shape you bake. This rectangular loaf basket is 300 x 150 x 80 mm. Fill it so the dough sits a little below the rim before proving.
