A banneton is a device used to shape dough into a baguette or other loaf-like shape. It is typically made of a woven basket, usually made of rattan or cane, and lined with cloth. The basket helps give the dough its shape and allows air to circulate around it while it rises. Bannetons are often used in artisan bread-making, as they provide a unique shape and texture to the finished loaf. Here are some great options.

Bread Banneton

Bread bannetons, also known as proofing baskets, are essential tools for any bread enthusiast or professional baker. These baskets are traditionally made from natural materials like cane or rattan, and their purpose is to support the dough as it rises, allowing it to maintain its shape and create those beautiful, artisanal bread loaves. Bannetons come in various sizes and shapes, catering to different types of bread, from baguettes to boules.

When choosing a bread banneton, it's important to consider the material, size, and shape that best suits your baking needs. Natural cane or rattan bannetons provide excellent airflow, ensuring a crispy crust, while ceramic bread proofing bowls offer a more modern and stylish alternative. The size of the banneton will depend on the amount of dough you typically work with, and the shape should match the type of bread you desire to bake.

Bread bannetons not only make a practical addition to your own kitchen but also make great gifts for home bakers or anyone who appreciates the art of breadmaking. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, a banneton can elevate your bread baking game, helping you achieve those professional-looking loaves.
