If you want to become a baker yourself, you need not only the perfect recipe but also the right baking utensils. One of these utensils is this proofing basket. Easy to handle and durable, the baskets are made from a breathable and natural raw material – rattan cane. Rattan cane is made from the trunk of rattan palms and is therefore biodegradable.

The proofing basket ensures a stable shape for the bread and decorates the surface with the structure of the basket, which determines the later appearance of the bread. With such a beautifully shaped and defined loaf, the eye certainly eats first.

Here’s how to use the proofing basket:

• Remove any dirt from the basket.
• Dust the inside with flour or baker's starch.
• Place the prepared dough in the basket, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise.
• After fermentation, turn the dough out onto a baking sheet and bake it according to the provided instructions.

These are all the steps you need to follow. If you wish, you can also add seeds or grains after dusting the basket with flour to give your bread an extra flavor note.

When caring for the proofing basket, it is important to let it dry completely after use. The residual heat from the oven is suitable for this, but the temperature should not exceed 140°C. Once the basket is completely dry, you can tap out the excess flour and store it. The basket is not dishwasher safe. Depending on how often you use it, you should sterilize the shape in the oven at 120-140°C for about 30-40 minutes every 4-8 weeks.

Important note: Not suitable as a baking mold for bread.

The proofing basket is also perfect for baking breads as gifts, because homemade bread tastes the best!.
