Breadtopia Oblong Proofing Basket

No, this basket is strictly for the final proofing stage. It is not oven-safe, so you must transfer your dough to a baking stone, Dutch oven, or baking sheet once the rise is complete.

The basket should not be submerged in water or put in the dishwasher. Simply brush out any excess flour after use and let it air dry completely. The included liner can be hand-washed in cool water and air-dried as needed.

The liner is optional but highly recommended for high-hydration doughs, which tend to be stickier. If you prefer the classic spiral pattern on your crust, you can proof directly in the rattan basket by dusting it generously with rice flour to prevent sticking.

This basket is sized for standard artisanal loaves, typically holding between 500g and 800g of dough. It is ideal for most sourdough recipes that call for a single oblong loaf.

Rattan is a traditional, breathable material that wicks away excess moisture from the surface of the dough during proofing. This process helps create a drier skin on the loaf, which is essential for achieving a crispy, professional-quality crust.
