Description

Bake Artisan Bread in Your Own Oven

Whether you are a seasoned bread baker or a novice, using a banneton will help you get a crispier loaf with a deliciously crunchy crust. This is because 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.

Professional bakeries use bannetons regularly to achieve the beautiful spiral effect on their artisan bread boules. For a smooth look of the loaf simply use the cloth liner that comes with this banneton.

Bannetons are used for proofing the bread dough before baking (commonly referred to as the second rise). By containing the rising dough the basket prevents sideways spread so your loaf comes up taller, not wider. Spirals of the basket create a beautiful pattern of flour that contrasts with score marks (made right before baking to help the loaf expand).

Our bannetons come with a handy flexible bowl scraper, which is very helpful in removing all of your sticky dough from the bowl when you're ready to shape your bread. Before using our banneton be sure to read the Use and Care Instructions provided in a PDF format.

Get one of these bannetons now and treat yourself to a fresh crispy loaf baked in your own kitchen. You will be so pleased with the results you will want to buy a second one!
