Proofing Baskets & Pans

Proofing baskets and pans are like cozy nests for your bread dough. They help your dough rise and develop its yummy flavor and texture before baking. These handy tools are a must for any baker, whether you're a pro or just love baking at home. When you make bread, the dough needs some time to rest and rise before it goes into the oven. Proofing baskets and pans are specially designed to give your dough a comfy place to do this. They provide support to your dough as it grows, helping it keep its shape and rise evenly. This process, called proofing, is what gives bread its light and airy texture. Many proofing baskets have a pretty pattern on them. These patterns leave a lovely imprint on your bread, making it look like a work of art. So not only do they help your bread taste great, but they also make it look fantastic!

Using proofing baskets and pans is super simple. First, you lightly dust them with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Then, you place your dough inside and let it rest for a while. When it's ready, you gently turn the dough out onto a baking sheet or into a hot oven. That's it! Your bread is on its way to becoming a delicious masterpiece.

If you want your bread to have a rustic and homey feel with a good crust, you can use bannetons (also known as brotforms) and proofing baskets. They are made from natural wicker, which helps absorb extra moisture and warmth, creating the perfect conditions for your bread to rise.
