Oval Proving Basket 35 x 15 x 7cm

An essential tool for artisan bakers aiming to perfect the shape and texture of their bread. Designed specifically for oval-shaped loaves or bâtards, this basket provides excellent support during the final proofing stage, preventing the dough from spreading out and encouraging it to rise upward for a taller, well-structured loaf. Made from breathable materials like cane, it absorbs a small amount of moisture, creating a slightly drier dough surface that makes scoring easier and results in a beautifully crisp crust after baking. The basket’s natural spiral or lined pattern leaves an attractive imprint on the dough, adding a rustic, handcrafted look to your bread. Its dimensions, 35 x 15 x 7cm, make it suitable for medium-sized dough batches, typically between 500g to 1kg, ideal for home bakers and professionals alike. Properly dusted with flour before use, this basket ensures the dough releases effortlessly, enhancing both the baking process and the final presentation.
