LOYAL Banneton Round Proofing Basket – Handmade Rattan - Art

Embrace the ancient art of artisan bread making with the LOYAL Banneton Round Proofing Basket — a beautifully handcrafted, genuine rattan proofing basket that has become the essential tool of sourdough bakers, artisan bread enthusiasts, and professional bakeries who refuse to compromise on authenticity, tradition, and the extraordinary results that only a genuine rattan banneton can deliver. Each LOYAL rattan round proofing basket is individually handmade from coiled genuine rattan, imprinting the dough surface with the iconic concentric spiral pattern that has become the unmistakable signature of authentically handcrafted artisan bread — a visual declaration of skill, patience, and baking mastery that transforms every loaf into a breathtaking centrepiece. During the fermentation and proofing process, the natural rattan construction breathes with the dough, absorbing excess surface moisture, supporting precise round boule shaping, and creating the ideal microenvironment for optimal gluten development and controlled oven spring that produces beautifully blistered, crackling crusts and an open, airy crumb structure. Available across a comprehensive range of sizes — 18cm (340-500g), 20cm (500-750g), and 23cm (750g-1kg) — to perfectly match every dough weight from small individual boules through to generous country-style round loaves, ensuring the perfect fit for every sourdough baking ambition. Trusted and specified by artisan bakeries, sourdough enthusiasts, bread making schools, professional bread makers, and passionate home bakers throughout Australia and New Zealand.
