KooK Banneton Bread Proofing Baskets - Round & Oval, 9-Inch, Handwoven Rattan, Liners Included

Elevate your home baking with the KooK Banneton Bread Proofing Baskets set. Crafted from 100% natural rattan, these handwoven baskets shape dough as it rises, leaving an artisanal pattern and a delicious crust-ready appearance. The round and oval formats fit common bread weights, while the included liners keep dough from sticking for smoother transfer to your loaf pan or stone.

What’s in the box and what makes them special

• Two 9-inch baskets: 1 round, 1 oval, each capable of holding up to 2 pounds of dough for standard loaf profiles.
• Two washable liners to simplify cleanup and reuse between bakes.
• 100% natural rattan construction: odor-free, splinter-free, and handmade for a traditional feel and solid performance.
• The ringed pattern helps create an even, professional-looking surface on your bread as it proofs.
• Designed to encourage a slightly humid microclimate during proofing, contributing to a crust-friendly drying process as the dough develops a skin.
• The KooK packaging ensures safe arrival with custom shipping molds to protect the baskets in transit.

Why bakers reach for bannetons

• Shape control: round and oval formats give you versatile loaf silhouettes that transfer neatly to a baking surface.
• Crust and pattern potential: the natural fibers and gentle airflow can help you achieve a rustic look and a crisp crust when baked.
• Material and care: natural rattan offers a traditional feel, while liners simplify cleanup and reuse.
• Long-term use: lightweight yet durable, designed for repeated proofing cycles with proper drying between bakes.

Care tips and use notes

• To clean, rinse with warm water by hand and let air-dry completely before storing.
• Liners are washable and reusable, helping you keep dough residue to a minimum.
• Store baskets in a dry place to preserve the natural fibers and finish.

Whether you’re testing new shapes or refining your sourdough routine, this KooK set offers a tactile, artisanal approach to bread proofing. It’s a practical upgrade for home bakers who enjoy the process as much as the result, with options that fit everyday kitchen workflows without relying on synthetic materials.
