Bulka Small Oval 500g Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Pressed Wood Pulp Brotform - Plane Non-Stick Batard Sourdough Banneton Basket, Made in Germany.

I love these bannetons so much! I proof my dough in the fridge for 24 hours in these and my loaves have been perfection since switching from the traditional rattan types. I always worried about wood splinters with those, so I never used them without a liner. You do not need a liner for these. The dough does not stick at all, and the size works for both a small loaf and regular loaf. My bread looks so much better since switching, and I think a big reason is a lot of moisture is removed during cold proofing due to the material these are made of. I do put them in the oven while it is cooling after baking so no mold forms on them. These are extremely well made and should last for many years.

I bake sourdough at home and this shapes my bread nicely that fits my oval Dutch oven.. love how easy to clean it

This is a great and professional banneton, easy to. maintain if you follow the instructions. No sticking if you use a bit of rice flour. Awsome!

If you’re looking for a reliable, well-crafted banneton for your sourdough or artisan breads, this wood pulp option delivers excellent results every time. They are the ideal size for 500g flour or smaller loaves, ensuring even fermentation. They are lightweight and easy to handle. I know they are a splurge compared to other options, but they support optimal dough aeration for better rise and texture.

Love these proofing baskets. Prefer the smooth ones vs the grooved/designed models. Better for design scores.
