Our banneton bread proofing basket range is proving so popular with the rise and rise of home breadmaking, customers have been calling for more shapes and sizes to be added to our collection. So now we’ve grown our rattan banneton family to include an oval proofing basket, a classic round breadbasket and a big nod to the traditional French artisans with a long baguette proofing basket too. 

What’s got home bakers bringing back the centuries-old banneton proofing basket tradition? They’re a beautifully simple way to add the authentic artistry of breadmaking to your homemade breads. The rattan proofing basket with natural linen liner supports your fresh-made Thermomix® dough during the fermentation process, giving your bread a uniform shape and imprinting a decorative ridged pattern on your crust.

Of course, before these beauties made it into our home breadmaking collection they had to prove themselves in the Thermomix® kitchen. We gave our Recipe Development team a big selection of bread proofing baskets to test and these were the clear winners, turning out sensational rustic sourdough, rye and pane di casa!

Made of strong, reusable, natural and durable rattan, each proofing basket size holds a generous amount of dough, shapes it perfectly evenly, and consistently turns out a beautifully hand-crafted loaf or baguette. We also added a custom-fitted natural linen liner that whisks away excess moisture from your dough for a smoother, crispier crust.

The results are the real rustic deal, that look like you bought your bread for a small fortune from a specialist bakery!

This liner ensures easy cleanup and keeps your dough from sticking, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a fuss-free experience. On the other hand, the unlined basket showcases the rustic charm of traditional bread-making. Crafted from natural rattan, it allows your dough to breathe and form that coveted, crispy crust. Whether you prefer the lined option for its practicality or the unlined basket for that authentic artisanal touch, our Bread Proofing Basket selection is designed to elevate your baking journey to perfection.

Be sure to flour your bread proofing basket before popping your dough in to prove. Our Recipe Developers recommends the Thermomix® bowl brush for brushing flour out of your bread proofing basket after use.
