Bospak Bread Proofing Basket

This basket is designed for standard artisan loaves made with approximately 750 to 900 grams of dough. Its 10-inch diameter and 3.25-inch depth provide enough room for a healthy rise without the dough spilling over the sides.

The liner is optional. Using it creates a smooth crust finish and makes cleanup easier, especially with wetter, higher-hydration doughs. If you prefer the classic spiral pattern imprinted on your crust, you can use the basket without the liner by dusting it generously with flour.

Avoid submerging the basket in water, as rattan can absorb moisture and develop mold. Simply shake out any excess flour after each use and let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area or near a warm oven before storing.

Yes, it is ideal for sourdough. The natural rattan material wicks away surface moisture from the dough, which helps create the crisp, professional-style crust characteristic of artisanal sourdough loaves.

It is recommended to lightly mist the basket with water and dust it thoroughly with flour—preferably rice flour, which is less likely to stick—before your first bake. This helps build up a non-stick coating over time.
