Banneton

Explore Cookin’s Banneton proofing baskets to support your sourdough through its final fermentation and bring artisan character to your own home baking. Choose the Banneton Round Proofing Basket 25cm or Banneton Round Proofing Basket 30cm for round loaves, or the Banneton Rectangle Proofing Basket 35cm with Liner when you prefer a rectangular shape. A banneton, also known as a brotform, holds and shapes dough as it proves, helping you work towards a uniform rise and a loaf with a distinctive finish. These natural baskets absorb excess moisture from the dough’s surface, creating conditions for a crispy crust and the rustic flour rings associated with traditional artisan bread. For bakers exploring sourdough proofing baskets, the choice of round and rectangular formats lets you select a basket to suit the loaf you want to make. The rectangular option includes a liner, while the two round sizes give you a choice of basket dimensions. Discover Banneton baskets at Cookin, a family-owned South African kitchenware retailer with a store in Ballito, KZN. Whether you are practising your shaping or refining your final proof, find a dedicated tool for supporting dough and developing the crust and appearance that make homemade sourdough so satisfying to bake.
