Matfer Bourgeat 7 7/8-inch Oval Banneton

An oval basket shapes a bâtard, the short oblong loaf that slices into even, sandwich-size pieces. The 7 7/8-inch Matfer oval banneton suits a small bâtard of about a pound of dough.

It is made from natural wood that is free of harmful chemicals or dyes. Matfer Bourgeat, a French company with a history dating to 1814, makes these baskets to professional standards. For a larger oval loaf, see the 9 1/2-inch oval banneton.

    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

    • After use, tap out excess flour and let the basket air dry completely before storing.
    • Brush out dried dough with a stiff, dry brush. Do not use soap and water.
