Banneton

A gift for the seasoned bread baker, using a banneton will help you get a crispier loaf with a deliciously crunchy crust. The banneton baskets are made of natural cane and work by creating a slightly humid micro-climate between the dough and the banneton during proofing. As the dough dries it creates a skin, and this is what makes a superb crust on artisan bread. The Banneton baskets retain and absorb warmth, provide a consistent shape and texture and ensure the formation of a healthy crust by controlling moisture conditions on the surface of the dough. Also great for use as bread baskets for serving bread and dinner rolls, these Bannetons are made from 100% natural cane and are secured with stainless rust-free pins.
