Haselmayer Goods Proofing Basket

This 7-inch basket is designed to hold dough weights between 500 and 800 grams. It is specifically sized to provide the necessary support for a standard boule to maintain its shape during the final proof.

Unlike rattan, which can splinter over time, the 100% unbleached cotton rope is soft and flexible. It naturally wicks away moisture to help create a crisp crust while remaining gentle on delicate, high-hydration doughs.

You can place your dough directly into the basket. Simply dust the rope surface lightly with flour before adding your dough to ensure it releases easily after proofing.

If flour buildup occurs, you can hand wash the basket using warm, soapy water. It is essential to let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it to prevent moisture retention.

Yes, the cotton rope construction is excellent for high-hydration doughs. It helps wick away excess surface moisture, which provides the structure needed for wetter doughs to hold their shape during the proofing process.

One of the primary benefits of the cotton rope design is that it is flexible and can be folded or compressed for easy storage. It takes up significantly less space than rigid wooden or plastic proofing molds.
