Banneton

Bannetons will give bread a better rise and a uniforn shape, which leads to better texture and a crunchier crust after baking. These handsome baskets can serve double duty as a serving basket for baked bread, buns or chips. Use an elastic liner (sold seperately) with your banneton basket to create a smooth top on your bread. When you use bread proofing basket liners, it prevents the dough from sticking and helps create a smooth finish to the loaf of bread, instead of the pattern of the banneton basket imprinting into the dough. You can also use them to cover the bread while proofing, or line the banneton basket and serve your freshly baked bread
