Oblong Rattan Proofing Basket

How do traditional German bakers‘ loaves look? Well formed, attractively marked and with light grooves in the surface. Our oblong baskets are made of untreated rattan.

Recipe dough weight: 1.5-2.5 lbs or 680-1130 grams
Recipe flour volume: 3-4.5 cups

Inside dimensions: Approximately 11" x 5½” at the rim. Sides of basket taper down to the base which is approximately 10? x 3¾”.

How to Use: Dust the proofing basket with flour and the risen dough drops easily onto your baking surface. For proofing very wet doughs, as called for with the popular no knead bread recipes, for example, the optional cloth liner (see below) is the simplest solution. Working flour (rice flour is particularly effective) into the cloth liner will release wet dough.

Care Instructions: Cleaning the proofing basket is usually just a matter of tapping it on the edge of your kitchen sink. If necessary, rinse it out with hot water with your faucet in spray mode. Shake off excess water and place upside down over still warm oven to dry quickly. Don’t use soap.
