11 : Agile-Shop Oval Long Banneton Brotform Bread Dough Proofing Rising Rattan Handmade Basket & Liner (11)

This basket is great for making larger sourdough loaves. My loaves are typically 1.3 kg {by weight} before baking. This size shaping basket makes it easier for the shaped dough to release. I had been using a 9" shaping basket, but the 11" works much better for my recipes. I coat the basket with a mixture of white rice flour and corn starch before placing the dough inside. When it's time to clean up, some tapping and a grooming brush remove the excess flour. If you are baking larger loaves like me, I highly recommend this basket.

Since I got this, I have been using it exclusively for my sourdough loaves. I prefer the oval shape over a round boule. This is a perfect size for a loaf made with 500g flour. I do make my loaf in a steam oven on a baking stone without any kind of cast-iron enclosure. I suppose if you made your loaf in a regular oven, you would need to buy an oval pan for baking. I didn't need that (yay!)

The liner can be cleaned easily, it’s tastefully looking The liners and easy to use and are very sturdy These Liners are top class performance

Cute proofing basket perfect for my 300 gr flour loaf of bread. Well made and it comes with a nice lining.

Love this for my sourdough and I like using it with the liner. Usually sourdough is a wetter dough so prone to stick and loses it's shape readily during proofing. I have only had great results with this banneton. I bought a second just so I could make larger batches of bread.
