This round rattan proving basket gives sourdough, rye and white loaves the shape and surface texture that define a great artisan bake. Woven from natural rattan cane, the 22cm basket cradles dough through its final prove and leaves the finished loaf with a signature spiral imprint once turned out onto the baking stone.

The basket measures 22cm in diameter and 8.5cm deep, holding up to 1kg of proofed dough — a sensible size for a standard boule that feeds four to six. Part of the BakeMaster bread-making range, the rattan is untreated and breathable, drawing surface moisture away from the dough so the crust blisters and browns evenly in a hot oven.
