Bread Baking

A favorite in European bakeries for generations, this proofing basket is called a Brotform in Germany and a banneton in France. Crafted of natural cane and shaped for round loaves, it allows the dough to rise evenly into a uniform shape, while the rattan coils draw out moisture to promote a crispy crust. Spiral indentations left by the coils bake into the bread, so loaves come out with a classic artisanal finish; line the basket with cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother finish.

• European-style bowl for proofing round loaves.
• Crafted of traditional natural cane.
• Creates a rustic ribbed pattern in the crust; line with cheesecloth for a smoother finish.
• Simply flour the brotform and add kneaded dough for the final rise.
• Great with handmade and machine-made dough.

Known as a banneton (French) or brotform (German), this natural cane bread rising basket allows dough to proof and imprints its shape and ribbed design on the finished loaf. Great for country-style bread, it gives breads a better rise with a uniform shape and a crunchy crust.
