Bread Proofing Basket, Banneton

$34.90
Tax included

Each banneton comes with a fitted, washable linen liner for easy cleaning and added versatility when proofing.

Designed to support your dough during its final rise, proofing baskets help maintain structure, improve shape, and encourage that signature artisan sourdough crust. The natural materials gently wick moisture from the surface of the dough, helping to create a beautifully crisp exterior while supporting even fermentation.

We find a banneton an essential tool for home sourdough baking, especially when working with softer, high-hydration doughs that need extra support to hold their form.

In stock with fast shipping within New Zealand.

Available in 3 sizes to suit different dough weights and baking needs. Please select below.

Our bannetons are hand-crafted from natural rattan cane and finished with a removable, washable linen liner. Made to meet high EU food-contact standards, they are designed for safe, reliable, and consistent use in home and professional baking.

Rattan is naturally strong yet lightweight, making these baskets both durable and easy to handle. The breathable woven structure helps support dough during its final proof while gently drawing away excess moisture from the surface—encouraging a beautifully crisp crust and well-defined shape once baked.

Please note that all loaf weights listed below refer to the total dough weight placed into the banneton (not flour weight alone).

We offer three sizes to suit different baking needs (select above):

Size A – Round Banneton
Suitable for 750g–1kg loaves
25cm diameter x 8cm height

Size B – Oval Banneton
Suitable for 550g–850g loaves
28cm length x 14cm width x 8cm height

Size C – Baguette Banneton
Suitable for baguette-style loaves
34cm length x 10cm width x 5.5cm height

Please note that each banneton is handcrafted, and small variations in size and finish are natural and part of the character of the product.


Fitted natural linen liner comes with each banneton.

How to Use

Before first use:
Wash the linen liner and rattan basket thoroughly in warm water. Allow to air-dry completely, ideally in direct sunlight, before storing in a dry, well-ventilated place.

When preparing dough:
Lightly dust the linen liner with flour before placing your shaped dough inside (seam side up). For very wet or sticky doughs, roll the dough in a generous coating of coarsely ground flour to create a dry outer layer before placing it into the banneton.

If using the basket without the linen liner, lightly mist the rattan surface with water and dust heavily with rice flour. Tap out any excess before adding your dough.

Allow your dough to complete its final proof in the banneton. Once ready, gently turn the dough out onto a baking tray, baking surface, pizza stone or Dutch oven.

Important: Do not bake in the banneton. Always remove the dough before baking.


Care Instructions

Wash rattan baskets occasionally with warm water and allow them to air-dry completely before reuse. Linen liners can be machine washed at temperatures below 30°C.

After each use, allow baskets to dry unstacked for several hours before storing. Keep in a dry place between uses, and periodically air or sun-dry to help prevent mould and maintain freshness.

Proper care will ensure your banneton remains in excellent condition for years of consistent baking.

Highly recommend

I got an oval banneton and it is great. The loaf comes out with ease and the washable linen liner is fab. I have been using mine for over a year now and it is still good as gold. Will get a round one for Christmas :)

Amazing quality bannetons!

These are amazing bannetons, great pro-quality, natural cane and linen liner. <br /> I got a round shape proofing basket mid 2020 and was a great adding to my sourdough making.<br /> you can use it with or without the liner and they even send the care instructions so you make the best out of your banneton :)

Organic Rye Flour

$9.90

Diastatic Malt Powder

$6.90

This diastatic malt powder is made from certified organic barley grown by a family farm in Central Otago, NZ.

Diastatic malt powder is the "secret ingredient" bread bakers use to promote a strong rise, great texture, and lovely brown crust. When used in baking it increases the enzymatic activity of dough, which means starch converts to sugar more quickly. As a result, the sugars caramelize more intensely, making a darker crust and a sweeter dough. As a result of heightened yeast activity, malt can help bakes rise into a higher volume, with a more tender and even texture.

Available in 100g, 500g and 1.5kg bulk bags. 

We provide a fast and efficient service.

Please see more info below to choose the correct size for your needs.
