Within the Basket range, our Proving basket section includes the wicker proving baskets used to raise bread dough. The proving basket supports the final fermentation stage: it holds the dough, helps it keep its shape and leaves the characteristic basketry pattern on the crust. Intended for home bakers and professionals alike, it is used both at home and in the bakery.

Choosing your proving basket

Which shape for which bread?

Round baskets suit boules and round loaves, while elongated shapes are designed for long loaves and bâtards. Choose the capacity according to the usual dough weight of your batches.

How do you care for it?

Wicker is cleaned dry, by brushing off flour residue once it is fully dry. Regular flouring before each use limits dough sticking and extends the life of the basket.
