Round Rattan Proofing Bread Basket - 24cm with Liner

Master the art of sourdough at home with the Round Rattan Proofing Bread Basket (24cm) with Linen Liner. Designed for both home bakers and local artisanal bread shops, this traditional banneton helps your dough maintain its shape, absorb moisture, and develop a beautiful spiral crust during the final rise.

Why Choose Our Rattan Proofing Basket?

• Natural Rattan Construction: Crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly rattan to give your sourdough optimal airflow for a superior rise and satisfying crumb texture.
• Included Linen Liner: Perfect for high-hydration, wet doughs to prevent sticking, or use without the liner for classic spiral ridges. (Note: Compatible with 22cm/24cm setups for versatile baking).
• Ideal Size: Measures D 24cm x H 8.5cm, making it the perfect size for standard artisan loaves.
• Pure & Healthy Baking: Sourdough relies on just flour, water, salt, and time. Eliminate unnatural commercial additives and enjoy bread that is gentle on the digestive system.

Care & Maintenance in Hong Kong's Climate Living in Hong Kong’s hot and humid environment means proper dry storage is key to preventing mold and keeping your basket in top condition:

• Never Wash with Soap or Water: Wood and rattan absorb moisture, which ruins the basket's structure.
• Brush Off Excess Flour: After baking, let the remaining flour dry completely. Use a stiff brush (or a clean toothbrush) to sweep away residue.
• Sun Dry to Sterilize: Naturally disinfect your basket by leaving it out in direct sunlight to dry out between bakes. Alternatively, dry it in a warm oven (turned off after baking) or a food dehydrator.
• Store Dry: Keep your banneton in a well-ventilated, dry place—never in the refrigerator.
