39 cms - Long Bread Proofing Basket

The 39 cms Long Bread Proofing Basket is a practical choice for bakers preparing elongated artisan bread, sourdough and specialty loaves. Its long profile provides structured support during the final proofing stage, helping dough retain its intended shape before it is transferred for baking.

Designed for bread dough that requires controlled fermentation and shape retention, the basket helps reduce excessive sideways spreading while the dough develops during proofing. The structured surface also creates the characteristic artisan pattern commonly associated with traditionally proofed breads. After proofing, the dough can be carefully transferred onto a baking tray, stone or other suitable baking surface.

The generous 39 cms length makes this bread proofing basket particularly suitable for longer loaves where a conventional round or oval banneton may not provide the required shape. It can be used for sourdough bread, rustic artisan loaves, country style breads and other elongated bread recipes, depending on the dough quantity and formulation.

Before placing the dough inside, dust the basket adequately with flour to help minimise sticking. Rice flour or an appropriate flour blend can also be used depending on the recipe and baker's preference. Place the shaped dough seam side up or according to the bread making method being followed, then allow it to complete its final proof.

Suitable for experienced artisan bakers as well as home bakers developing their bread making skills, the 39 cms Long Bread Proofing Basket is a useful addition to a dedicated bread baking setup. It also makes a practical baking gift for sourdough enthusiasts and bread makers.

We recommend that you do not depend solely on the info available and you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.

Before first use, make sure the 39 cms Long Bread Proofing Basket is clean and completely dry. Lightly dust the inside surface with flour before adding the shaped bread dough. Rice flour is commonly preferred for proofing baskets because it can help create a barrier between the moist dough and the basket surface.

Shape the prepared dough into a long loaf suitable for the basket dimensions. Place it carefully inside the floured basket and allow it to undergo final proofing according to your bread recipe. Avoid using excessive dough that rises beyond the basket capacity, as this can affect the final shape and make transferring the dough more difficult.

Once proofing is complete, gently invert the basket over the prepared baking surface. Avoid pulling the dough from the basket. If properly floured, the proofed dough should release with minimal handling. Score and bake the loaf according to your recipe.

After use, allow any remaining flour or dough residue to dry before cleaning. Remove dried flour with a clean, dry brush. Avoid soaking the proofing basket in water or washing it in a dishwasher, as excessive moisture can affect natural proofing basket materials and may encourage unwanted odour or mould development.

Allow the basket to dry thoroughly in a well ventilated area before storing. Never store it while damp. Keep it in a clean and dry location away from excessive humidity.
