- Healthy & Natural Material: Our bread proofing baskets are made from 100% natural, food-grade rattan. This non-toxic, chemical-free material promotes excellent airflow, allowing the outer dough to shed excess moisture and develop a crispy crust while maintaining humidity inside for a soft, tender crumb. - Shape Retention: The unique structure of these baskets supports uniform pore formation during fermentation, helping your dough maintain its shape. Unlike standard bowls or silicone options, these baskets prevent deformation, ensuring consistent results. The included cloth liner creates a breathable environment and keeps dough from sticking. - Versatile Baking Tool: With a 10-inch size, these baskets accommodate various dough types. The oval design simplifies dough removal, making them perfect for traditional sourdough. The textured surface leaves beautiful patterns on your bread, enhancing its visual appeal. Use the cloth liner for a smooth finish, enabling you to create intricate designs effortlessly. - Easy to Use and Maintain: For optimal performance, sprinkle flour inside the basket before use to prevent sticking. After baking, easily clean by shaking off excess flour and brushing away any residue. The cloth liners not only support a good baking environment but also simplify cleanup. For longevity, store the baskets in a dry, well-ventilated area. - Ideal for Home Bakers: Perfect for enthusiasts looking to enhance their bread-making experience, these proofing baskets are a must-have for crafting artisan loaves, experimenting with different dough recipes, or perfecting your sourdough techniques. Enjoy the satisfaction of baking beautiful, professional-quality bread at home.
