Matfer Bourgeat 7 1/2-inch Round Banneton

The 7 1/2-inch round banneton is the small basket for a boule of about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of dough, the size for a household loaf or for a baker working through a first sourdough.

A banneton is a type of basket used to provide structure for shaped loaves of bread during proofing. Banneton baskets are also known as brotform or proofing baskets. It is normally used for doughs that are too soft or wet to maintain their shape while rising. The cane leaves a spiral flour pattern on the crust and draws a little moisture from the surface of the dough, which helps the loaf form a crisp crust. Bread supplies like these are bought by home bakers as well as professionals. For a larger boule, see the 10-inch round banneton.

    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.
