Bundt Rattan Proofing Basket

The Bundt Rattan Proofing Basket brings a distinctive new form to artisan bread making. Designed with a signature Bundt inspired shape, this banneton features a raised centre that encourages the dough to proof into an elegant ring shaped loaf. It is an excellent choice for bakers who want to move beyond conventional round and oval breads and create a loaf with an instantly recognisable presentation.

Made from natural rattan, the basket supports the dough during its final proof while helping it retain its intended form before baking. The coiled rattan construction also creates the characteristic flour rings associated with traditional artisan bread, adding visual texture to the finished crust.

The signature shape makes this proofing basket particularly suitable for sourdough bakers, artisan bakeries, cafés and home bakers looking to introduce a distinctive bread presentation. Once baked, the central opening creates an attractive Bundt inspired profile that can become a visual centrepiece on a bread board or dining table.

For best results, dust the basket thoroughly with rice flour or a suitable flour before placing the shaped dough inside. This helps reduce sticking while allowing the rattan pattern to transfer naturally onto the dough surface.

Beyond everyday bread making, the Bundt Rattan Proofing Basket is particularly useful for festive breads, specialty sourdough recipes, gifting breads and signature bakery creations. Its unconventional form gives professional and home bakers another way to differentiate their bread without changing the fundamental proofing process.

For bakers building a collection of bannetons, this signature shape complements traditional round, oval and long proofing baskets while introducing a more creative option for artisan bread presentation.

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, lightly mist the inside of the Bundt Rattan Proofing Basket with water and dust it evenly with rice flour or your preferred proofing flour. This helps season the rattan surface and gradually develops a natural flour coating that can improve dough release with repeated use.

Prepare and shape the bread dough according to your recipe. Flour the basket thoroughly, paying particular attention to the curved surfaces and the area around the raised centre. Place the shaped dough carefully into the basket and allow it to complete its final proof as required by the recipe.

When the dough is ready for baking, gently invert the basket onto parchment paper, a baking surface or suitable bread baking equipment. Release the dough carefully so that the signature ring shape and rattan pattern remain well defined. Score the dough according to the bread style and bake as directed by your recipe.

The basket is intended for proofing dough and should not be placed inside an oven.

After each use, allow the basket to dry completely. Remove residual dry flour with a soft brush. Avoid soaking the natural rattan in water, using a dishwasher or leaving it damp for extended periods. Excess moisture can affect the natural material and may encourage mould development.

Store the basket in a clean, dry and well ventilated location. Before storing, ensure that both the inner surface and the spaces between the rattan coils are completely dry.
