Designed for both home enthusiasts and professional bakers, this 20cm x 8cm natural rattan banneton basket is an essential tool for perfecting sourdough fermentation and achieving artisanal crust patterns. It excels at maintaining dough shape while promoting optimal airflow during the proofing process, though users should be aware that the handmade nature of the rattan means slight variations in dimensions and weight are normal compared to factory-molded alternatives.

No, this banneton is for proofing only and should never be placed in a hot oven.
Avoid using soap and water, as it can damage the rattan and lead to moisture retention.

Yes, using it without the liner allows the coils to imprint the signature spiral pattern directly onto your dough.
Rice flour is highly recommended as it acts as a non-stick barrier better than standard wheat flours.
Ensure you are using enough rice flour dusting before placing the dough inside.
This may be mold from improper drying. Ensure the basket is completely moisture-free before storage.
Use a dry, firm-bristled brush to sweep out dried flour after every few uses.
To prepare your banneton, dust the interior generously with rice flour, as it is less likely to absorb into the dough than wheat flour. After each use, shake out excess flour and brush the basket with a stiff brush. Ensure the basket is completely dry before storing it in a dark, airy place to prevent mold growth. Do not soak the basket in water, as this can degrade the natural rattan fibers. If you must clean it, use only a damp cloth to wipe the surface and air dry thoroughly in the sun.
