Brod & Taylor Batard Banneton Liner – 100% Linen Proofing Liner for Sourdough & Artisan Bread

Elevate your sourdough proofing with linen perfection

The Brod & Taylor Batard Banneton Liner is built from 100% natural linen. This breathable fabric draws excess moisture away from dough, helping reduce sticking and supporting a clean, even release during proofing. It’s a simple upgrade that complements your routine, especially with high-hydration doughs that benefit from steady moisture management.

Why linen matters

Natural linen has a long history in banneton lining. It dries quickly between uses, resists repeated washing, and maintains its shape loaf after loaf. The fabric breathes, helping balance humidity inside the banneton and promoting a smooth surface for shaping and resting dough.

• Moisture management: Linen’s breathable weave helps move moisture away from the dough surface.
• Long-lasting performance: Durable linen holds up to repeated use and washing.
• Fast-drying: Quick post-bake turnaround means less downtime between batches.

Proofing with add-ins

One standout benefit is how a liner can act as a protective barrier. If your dough includes garlic, onions, herbs, or cheese, the liner helps keep those flavors from transferring into the banneton itself. The result can be a clean surface ready for baking’s final rise.

• Flavor-friendly proofing: Works with add-ins without leaving residue in the dough area.
• Cleaner bake surfaces: Reduced risk of transfer to the banneton and subsequent loaves.

Care and maintenance

Maintenance is straightforward, so you can focus on baking. After use, shake out excess flour and let the liner air dry completely. When needed, hand wash with a mild detergent and again air dry. The material’s durability supports repeated cycles without losing form.

• Simple cleaning steps: Shake, air dry, and store flat for next use.
• Detergent-friendly: Mild soaps keep fibers gentle and intact.
• Preserves shape: Gentle hand washing helps maintain a smooth, even surface.

Compatibility and use

Designed to complement Brod & Taylor bannetons, the liner sits flat and offers a consistent surface for proofing. Bannetons are sold separately, but this liner is ready to pair with your existing setup for predictable results.
