Bannetons, also called proofing baskets, are used in the baking process and offer support and structure to the dough before you bake.
Bannetons are often made with cane rattan, a climbing palm made from tropical rainforests and not ideal for environmental reasons. Our bannetons are made using compressed wood pulp from managed spruce forests in Germany and have a much smaller environmental footprint.
How to choose your banneton
500-750g Flour = 500-750g Banneton
Elaine from Foodbod Sourdough explains how to choose the right banneton size for your sourdough bread. She demonstrates how the grams specified on the bannetons correspond to the amount of flour used in your sourdough recipe.
