Eddingtons Bread Proving Oval Basket, 29cm

The Banneton baskets retain and absorb warmth, provide a consistent shape and texture and ensure the formation of a healthy crust by controlling moisture conditions on the surface of the dough.

Also great for use as bread baskets for serving bread and dinner rolls, these Bannetons are made from 100% natural cane and are secured with stainless rust-free pins.

Complement these baskets with our traditional bread stencils to add a professional finish.

To clean the baskets, scrub them out with a brush and hot soapy water. Once scrubbed, rinsed and thoroughly dry

Cane bannetons need to be conditioned prior to their first use to avoid dough getting stuck to its sides.

Before its first use, lightly mist your cane banneton with water and dust it with a layer of flour. For any future uses, lightly flour your basket before you put in the dough and dip your dough in flour before you put it in the basket.

Be careful, as too much flour results in a thick, floury crust and will diminish the cane’s spiral pattern, so you may have to experiment before you get it exactly right.
