Want to make bread that "breathes"? Start by giving it a banneton—a proofing basket that knows how to "lend a hand" to your dough.
A banneton isn’t just a container; it’s a partner in crafting edible art. Its porous texture lets air circulate, letting the dough "breathe" as it rises. This slow, steady oxygen flow builds a tender, airy crumb—exactly what makes great bread feel alive.
But its magic goes beyond texture. The basket’s woven ridges press delicate patterns into the dough, turning a plain lump into a canvas. When baked, those imprints bloom into rustic, artisanal designs, making your loaf look as stunning as it tastes.
For bakers, the banneton is a tool to play with shape and style. Round, oval, or even specialty forms—each guides the dough into a unique silhouette, turning every bake into a small masterpiece. It’s how ordinary rising dough transforms into bread that wows both the eyes and the palate.
In the end, the banneton doesn’t just help dough rise—it helps it shine. With this simple basket, you’re not just baking; you’re creating art, one perfectly proofed loaf at a time.
