Matfer Bourgeat 8 1/4-inch Round Linen-Lined Proofing Basket

The Matfer Bourgeat 8 1/4-inch round linen-lined wicker proofing basket is used for proofing and shaping artisan dough through the final rise before baking. It yields about a 1-pound loaf.

Manufactured in France, these are high-quality wicker baskets lined with linen cloth that reduces sticking, which is especially important when working with very moist doughs. The traditional round design is best for country-style breads, and the loaf bakes with a smooth crust rather than the ringed pattern of a bare basket. For a larger loaf, see the 10 5/8-inch basket.

    Matfer Bourgeat Proofing Baskets

    Bare baskets leave a ring or spiral pattern of flour on the crust; linen-lined baskets give a smooth crust and release very wet doughs more easily.

    Tips for Best Results

    • Dust the basket generously with rice flour, or a blend of rice and wheat flour, before each use.
    • Turn the proofed dough out onto a peel or parchment and score it at once. For proofing only; do not bake in the basket.

    Care

    • Shake out the flour after each use and let the basket and liner dry completely.
    • Wash the linen liner by hand when needed and dry it fully before storing; do not wash the wicker.
